The fifty-three castles chosen for this enchanting book represent every part of Great Britain, and span the five centuries that marked the great age of castle building, from William the Conqueror's eleventh-century citadels to the picturesque turrents of seventeenth-century Glamis. The selection includes such famous landmark as the Tower of London and Windsor Castle, as well as lesser-known fortresses, such as the now ruined Brough Castle in Cumbria. Each one is attractively illustrated with hand coloured prints and engravings or full colour photographs, while ground plans and town maps show the relationship between castles and their surrounding areas. David Mountfield's text is informative and entertaining. As well as giving a brief historical resume of each castle, he includes some of the legends that are associated with them and their often notorious owners. A superb book. Size: 4to.

This edition, released in 1929 at the height of Nonesuch Press' publication days, is the first time Walton's complete writings have been published in one volume, including The Compleat Angler (using the text from the 1668 fourth edition) and The Lives of Donne, Wotton, Hooker, Herbert, and Sanderson, as well as some of his miscellaneous writings.
