Description
Carcassonne at twilight looks like something from a dream: towers and turrets glowing gold against a violet sky, narrow lanes winding between stone houses, and the sound of a bell drifting over the ramparts. A family visiting for the first time stops at the gate, and the youngest boy asks, very seriously, whether a dragon lives inside.
This box is a whole medieval village in miniature, with painted houses gathered around a castle, and four hinged compartments that open one by one like doors to different homes. It is a puzzle and a treasure at once: earrings in one, a ring in another, a daily pill in the third and a tiny secret in the fourth. It makes a fascinating gift for history buffs, fairy-tale fans, castle lovers, travelers who have walked the walls of old French towns, or a child who still believes there might be a dragon somewhere. Display it on a bookshelf among history books, on a desk where small items need sorting, or in a curio cabinet where visitors will want to open every door. Puzzle lovers and model makers will appreciate the clever design too.
