Castles of Britain and Ireland:
The Ultimate Reference Book: A Region-By-Region Guide to over 1350 Castles
Author Plantagenet Somerset Fry brings to life every aspect of castles and castle life--how they were built and why; the types of defenses they employed, and what kind of weapons were used to attack them; and the social interactions of daily life. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which gives an overview of castles in England and Ireland; the second section is a region-by-region guide of more than 1,350 of the most important castles. Photographs, floor plans, and illustrations bring these ancient structures to life, while Fry's in-depth history of castles and the people who built them will fire the reader's imagination.
