From the creators of Man-of-War comes a close-up look inside a medieval castle, providing meticulously detailed cutaway illustrations that reveal diverse facets of life inside a castle. A knight or a baron may dwell in the 14th-century castle lovingly recreated here, but Platt and Biesty's latest book is, quite simply, fit for a king. In the style of the previous Cross-Sections titles, each oversized spread shows a cutaway view of an area of a quintessential castle and is organized around a central theme (e.g., "Building the Castle," "Livestock and Produce," "Weapons and Punishment"). Biesty brings a jeweler's eye to his seemingly infinitely detailed illustrations, while Platt supplies punchy bite-sized text blocks to highlight information about the edifice itself as well as those who lived within its walls.

The word itself conjures up mystery, romance, intrigue, and grandeur.

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.
