Philip
Ardagh.
Why Are Castles Castle-shaped? 100 and a half Questions
About
Castles Answered.
London: Faber, 2002.
Paperback ISBN
0571214371.
Publisher's
recommended price £4.99
Philip
Ardagh has
a passion for history. During his numerous children's events over the
years,
author Philip Ardagh has been asked just about every question about
castles
and life in medieval times. Here he answers his favourite (printable)
ones.
Everything
from
alchemy to the crusades is covered in this informative book, from "Who
built castles", "Where did everyone sleep?" and "What's a lady's
favour?"
to the more obscure "Did they have baths?" and "Did they have toilet
paper?"
The
book has a
simple question-and-answer format and, as well as illustrations
through,
there are fact boxes and quick quizzes to test what you have learned.
The
reference section includes timelines, a glossary and index.
