    Marking their territory in stone...
  

*by H***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2014*

The Normans who conquered England in 1066 were also masters of the Dukedom of Normandy in France, and in time would also control Sicily and parts of Italy. In all their lands, the Normans quickly became proficient at the building of castles, borrowing techniques from the natives and improving on them.  Norman Stone Castles (2) is a very readable Osprey Fortress Series entry, and a follow-up to an early book on Norman castles in England.Although many of the European castles built by the Normans have not survived the centuries, author Christopher Gravett and illustrator Adam Hook find plenty of examples from the period 950 to 1204.  The book offers a quick introduction and chronology before getting into the details of those examples.  Chateau-Galliard, built on a piece of key terrain, gets an extensive look, as does Falaise.  The narrative is wrapped around a short history of the Normans in continental Europe, and includes chapters on the defense of the castles and life within their walls.  The text is enhanced by a very nice collection of photographs, maps and illustrations.  Well recommended to those with an interest in the Normans and their castles.

    Great single volume introduction to a fascinating subject.
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2015*

The Osprey Fortress boulmes are justly famed for their all around excellence.  "Norman Stone Castles 2" is outstanding in this grand company.  This is not simply a book of pretty pictures, although the drawings by artist Adam Hook are wonderful, colorful and exquisitely detailed.  Besides Mr. Hook's drawings we have the gift of many photos of castles as they exist today, ruins in other words.  In a recent to the Osprey books innovation, many of the photos are in full color.  That adds a lot to the reader's enjoyment and understanding.  Author Christopher Gravett ends the book with thumbnail descriptions of literately dozens of castles in Normandy, Sicily and Southern Italy.  In each brief entry he gives the location and current status of that particular castle.  Mr. Gravett knows his castles.  For a time in his career he served as the senior curator at the Tower of London.  Gravett covers the subject in great detail, much more detail than we have any reason to expect in a 64 page book.  He covers things that we might expect such as life in a castle and a castle at war.  Not expected are details like the cost of castles to the people who built them.  This book is well worth the small cost for any of us with an interest in the subject.
