Book excerpt: When we envision the British monarchy, one of the first things that comes to mind is Buckingham Palace, with its gilded gates and changing of the guard. But it is Windsor Castle that can claim pride of place as the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, dating to the earliest days of the monarchy, a symbol of strength and magnificence over a nearly thousand-year history of sieges and soirées alike. Witness to both great moments in the country?s history and those that threatened to destroy it, the castle has become a symbol of English culture and architecture. Throughout England?s history, Windsor Castle has stood fast and evolved, much like the monarchy that inhabits it to this day.00'Windsor Castle: An Illustrated History' is an affordable souvenir volume that tells England?s history through Windsor Castle, beginning in AD 700, when the castle was only an area of rough ground on a handy escarpment above the River Thames. The book charts the construction and survival of the castle and the monarchy, setting Windsor Castle, its architecture, and its treasures against the background of the changing world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Windsor: A History and Description of the Castle and the Town Eighteen years ago the Author published "Windsor in the Olden Time," which was very favourably received, and especially by those best acquainted with the Castle and neighbourhood. That little volume has now for a long time been out of print, and though repeatedly requested to republish it, sensible of its imperfection, he has always refused to do so. At length, however, having collected materials to render the book more complete, and more generally acceptable as a guide to the Castle, he has recast the whole, and now presents to the public a substantially new work. He sincerely thanks all his friends connected with Windsor Castle and the Royal Service there - particularly Mr. Woodward, the Queen's Librarian - for the valuable assistance which he has received from them in preparing this publication.
