This classic flap book in the "See Inside" series is brought to life with a new sound panel. It offers a humorous yet historically accurate look at life in a Thirteenth Century medieval castle. Inventive embedded flaps on each double-page spread allow children to explore the hidden world of the castle, peeking inside stables, tents, and carriages along the way.

My favourite sound was the ghostly knight. My favourite chapter was 'Jolly Jousts.' This is an exciting book with lots of colourful and interesting pictures. It has made me laugh a lot. Score: 9/10
Reader's review - The Young Archaeologist
A humorous and educational look at life in a 13th-century medieval castle, brought to life with flaps and sound panels. The sound buttons are irresistible: with noises and effects covering everything from jousts, trebuchets and drawbridges to a ghostly knight.
