Castles and Strongholds by Richard Muir

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Very faint foxing to top foredge. Dust jacket has light creasing at edges and spine. Interior and binding are also very good.

This book examines the development of castles - as homes and at war, their building and their demolition - from the Neolithic strongholds to the folies des grandeurs of the 19th century. An authoritative guide to some of the greatest monuments of the British Isles, meticulously researched and illustrated throughout, this book should prove as enduring a legacy to a bygone age as is the subject itself.
