Description
This striking pop-up book published under the imprimatur of paper
engineers Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart, introduces a medieval
European castle and the activities within it. Open the first
double-page spread and up pops a three-dimensional castle, including
its walls, courtyard, and drawbridge, with two smaller gatefold pages
revealing other pop-up scenes. From the alchemist in the tower to the
prisoners in the torture chamber, the vision of medieval times seems
romanticized and the text secondary to the pleasing artwork and paper
engineering. Still, Olmon provides plenty of interesting facts about
the castle, its inhabitants, and their activities, and what other book
includes a working, pop-up catapult that can shoot a spitball three
feet?
