A wide range of topics are discussed from the geography of the area, buildings and décor to deadly nightshade and portrait medallions worn by the women.Each topic is deeply detailed, informative and I'm sure the product of years of extensive research. My favorite sections were about the people of York, their dress, jewelry and funerary practices. I also very much appreciated the photos and drawings which definitely breathed life into this work.

I found this book to be highly educational. It covers covers pretty much everything you might ever want to know about how castles were built. The book included quite a few photographs and diagrams which I enjoyed, as well as a helpful glossary at the end.
