Imagine standing on a mountain top in Europe thousands of years ago. Farmers are building their homes there, erecting simple houses and high fences around them to protect their territory. Over time, others come to settle here as well. The fences they build become stronger and stronger, and eventually, they construct a castle with solid stone walls. This new castle will stand for a long time, telling rich and colorful stories. The stories in this book are like a journey, but it’s not an ordinary journey—you don’t need to take a plane, car, or ship. In fact, you don’t even need to leave your home to travel through time! Open the book, and time flies by at your fingertips: days, years, or even centuries. You stay in the same place, but changes keep happening. Every moment—meaning every stop in your journey—is a new chapter of the story: early fortresses, the construction of stone castles, various preparations for defending the castle, the castle being besieged, rebuilt, destroyed, and becoming ruins—all of these are legendary tales of the castle.
