To use a phrase from Shakespeare, castles are "stories in stones." They
remained the architectural landmarks of 1,000 years of British history.
They have also provided the setting for some of the most dramatic deeds
in British history in war and political conflict. This well researched
and vividly illustrated book explores the story of England's castles,
featuring many of the most colorful examples, as well as a timeline,
glossary, and list of castles.
