I am enjoying this a lot. I grew up loving castles, though it had always struck me as weird how Welsh tourism revolves around castles built by the English to keep us down. It even covers one of my favourite castles, Caerphilly. It's pretty even handed about the merits and shortcomings of both sides as regards the Welsh rebellions, too, which doesn't hurt!
pickAn excellent look at the rise and fall of castles in England, Scotland and Wales. Just the right length, written clearly and containing well-timed doses of humour. A good book to try if you haven't read this author.
*yelps with gleeful laughter* 😂😂😂
😂 I am enjoying Marc Morris's dry wit.
