Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Governor's Guide to Windsor Castle
And as in looking out from One of those high perched Italian monasteries, you watch, as they break through the silver sea of the morning clouds, the rugged masses of the mountain pinnacles; so, in glancing back over the levels of history, the castles break out of the mists, challenging attention as the visible remnants of that land which seems lost under the shining floor of vapour. We have heard stories of the prowess of this king, and of the cruelty of that knight; of the wisdom of one reign, and of the ruin brought upon another, but history remains half hidden to the mind, until we see the very stones, the very halls which were reared by the actors in the drama, and tread the paths that heard their footsteps as they passed to their destiny.
