Reviews for Castles of Wales
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Castles of Wales by John Paul Davis is a fascinating book on a subject that intrigues so many people: castles. This volume gives the reader so much good information yet avoids the long dry patches many such books contain.While each section is about a specific castle or grouping, this is more than simply a book about the structures. This is part history and part folklore, with the legends that inhabit these sites sitting alongside the verifiable (mostly) historical figures.If, like me, you have a couple of coffee table books about castles, whether of a particular region or in general, this book will complement those books by including the history in more detail than many popular books do. While the photographs here are nice, this book fleshes out the fascination castles still hold over us, adding some weight to the skeleton that many beautiful coffee table books offer.The bibliography in the back is extensive and includes a list of websites. I would also suggest doing some searches of your own on any castles and/or legends that pique your curiosity. I did and found some great pictures and information (and even made a new friend on one of the sites). This book is ideal for turning into a multimedia experience based on which locations or stories grab you.I would highly recommend this to readers who would like a little more history to go along with their love of castles. The entries discuss the current state of the castles as well as their importance throughout history so is appealing to both the historian and the person who might want to visit some of these places.Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via NetGalley.
