Castle by David Macaulay – 1977 (Trumpet Club Special Edition, 1989 Reprint)

Originally published in 1977, David Macaulay’s Castle is a classic work of illustrated history that brings medieval architecture and engineering to life. Combining meticulous research with striking pen-and-ink illustrations, Macaulay tells the story of the design and construction of a fictional castle and the surrounding town, inspired by real structures built in 13th-century Wales during the reign of Edward I. The book blends narrative and illustration to explain how castles served both as fortresses and as centers of community life, making complex history accessible to readers of all ages.
