Castles of the World Coloring book
This carefully researched coloring book offers a fascinating pictorial survey of castles in varying styles from Great Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany and other countries, including Japan. You'll find meticulously accurate depictions of 31 magnificent structures, from the early English motte-and-bailey strongholds to the romantic, 19th century royal residence at Neuschwanstein, built for King Ludwig II of Bavaria.
The finely detailed drawings - each printed in authentic detail on a full page or two-page spread -- appear in roughly chronological order and illustrate the architectural development of the castle from the primitive tower on a hill of the eleventh century to the sophisticated Norman castle of the mid-thirteenth century, to later structures that represented a shift from fortress to residential castles.
This attractive volume offers not only hours of educational entertainment for colorists of all ages, but a fascinating glimpse of the history and architecture of the medieval era.
