Reviews

[Louis Muñoz · Rating 4 out of 5]

4 stars. A very thorough and nicely illustrated history and look into Windsor Castle. I especially liked the pictorial reconstructions that gave you an idea of what the castle looked like at various stages of its almost 1,000 year history. However, very sadly lacking are any floor plans and related plats, which would give one better context for what you're reading about. I'm not talking about detailed plans, obviously, but many of the areas are public and could thus have been sketched out, drawn out.
