Description
Trumpets sound from the battlements. A knight on a white horse gallops toward the gate, a princess leans from the tallest tower, and a dragon, somewhere out of sight, is plotting mischief. At least, that is how eight-year-old Hugo tells it, standing on the walls of Carcassonne with a wooden sword and an audience of one patient grandfather.
This box opens the gates to that kind of imagination. A fortified castle rises with charming towers, painted in vibrant colors for a lifelike look, and it opens to hold small treasures. It brings medieval charm to a child’s bookshelf, a history teacher’s desk or a collector’s display cabinet. Give it to a history buff who reads about sieges for fun, to a fan of fairy tales, or to a child who builds forts out of sofa cushions. Each turret and wall invites a story.
