J'ai acheté la version française du livre lors de ma visite là-bas. Ce petit guide raconte l'histoire derrière la création de Kings Landing et se veut un bon résumé des richesses patrimoniales assemblées avec soin par les historiens et les conservateurs du site - les textes sont accompagnés de nombreuses photos qui nous transportent directement au 19e siècle.
