Ingenious pop-up book

In fairy tales, castles are places of noble deeds, fair maidens, and brave knights. The illuminating text of this beautiful and ingenious pop-up book tells about the real castles, which were nothing like that. They were military strongholds designed for battle and defense, and often cold, dirty, and bad smelling.
