«Naissance d'un château fort» is David Macaulay's illustrated history book, published by L'Ecole des Loisirs in hardcover (80 pages, in French).
Through detailed illustrations, David Macaulay follows the construction process of a medieval castle: the political context that led a king or lord to commission it, the choice of site, the coordination of architects and craftsmen, the building time, and the daily life of those who inhabited it.
Original work in English Castle (1977), translated by Anne Cohen Beucher and part of David Macaulay's Architecture series.
History and architecture for young readers who want to know how a castle is built.
