"What I need", said a lord one day, "is a castle!" So he built the very first one. His idea soon spread. But why did people need castles? What was it like to live in one? And why did castles go out of fashion? This book tells their incredible story, from the first wooden tower to the crumbling ruins you see today. This book comes with a CD that brings the story to life through lively music, dramatic sound effects and superbly characterized readings. A listenalong version is followed by a readalong version with prompts for page turns.
