Editorials
Booknews
Not only castles in England, but the many English castles built to control the subject populations in Scotland, Wales and Ireland, are discussed from the perspectives of the men who ruled them, the construction, the inner household and outer core, defense, and visiting them today. Includes a gazetteer and a glossary without pronunciation. Basically a travel guide, but thorough enough for high school or undergraduate students. Well illustrated, mostly in black and white.
