Dover Castles of the World-Coloring Book 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. You'll find meticulously accurate depictions - ready for coloring - 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 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.
