Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A 1978 Caldecott Honor Book
The word itself conjures up mystery, romance, intrigue, and grandeur. What could be more perfect for an author/illustrator who has continually stripped away the mystique of architectural structures that have long fascinated modern man? With typical zest and wry sense of humor punctuating his drawings, David Macaulay traces the step-by-step planning and construction of both castle and town.
"The text of this book is set in Times New Roman and Berkeley Oldstyle"--t.p. verso.
In this first-ever standalone full-color edition, Castle is lavishly reborn in digitally finished drawings rendered with felt-tip markers and colored pencils. Factual and artistic details shine in light of newly researched information. With characteristic zest and wit. Architecture enthusiasts of all ages will marvel at the staggering possibilities of human imagination and ingenuity.
