Castle
Castle | David Macaulay
3 posts | 8 read | 4 to read
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.

★★★★★
Despite loving David Macaulay's PBS programs Castle and Cathedral since childhood, I had never read this book until now. The programs followed me through my education from elementary school to community college and I later bought them on DVD so I could continue watching them at home and share them with my children. His drawing style influenced my own, which I believe later influenced my daughter's. ⬇️

bibliothecarivs I had the opportunity to meet Macaulay after a lecture at Utah State University in October, 2014 and he was as smart, kind, and creative as I always thought he was. He not only signed our copy of Cathedral, but he also left an original drawing on the title page. I'll treasure it forever. 2y
Bookwomble What a fantastic memory, and wonderful to have a drawing made for you by someone you admired and was such an influence 💖 2y

Nancy: "I really like the drawings in this book. It's about a castle and how everything functions inside it. My favorite part is reading about the architecture, like the layout and the foundation. I've never been to a castle before. I'd like to see one - any castle would be great."

josie281 We have this one. It's fantastic. 8y
