Discover what lies behind the massive stones of a castle wall, beyond the iron gates and over deep, dark moat. Enter a world of romance and adventure, of hardship and battle, and fight your way in between a hail of arrows to discover the world inside a castle under siege. Meet the humble laundry maid, the elegant lady, , the blacksmith sweating in his forge, and the young squire learning to joust and fight. Find out about the weapons of Europe's crusading knights and take a glimpse at the fearless Samurai warriors of Japan. Practical projects show you how to dress like a medieval lady , build a model castle, become a juggling jester, make a working trebuchet and much much more. Step back to the time that launched a thousand fairytales and join an adventure you'll never forget.
