Today’s book is another little volume from the Pitkin Publishing Company. This one is entitled “The History and Treasures of Windsor Castle” and was written by B.J.W. Hill, MA as part of the Pitkin “Pride of Britain” series. Curiously, no printing date is shown, but I’d guess this came about in 1953 for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
The book contains no lengthy history. Instead, it’s mostly several pages of plates—both color and black and white—with brief descriptions of each. It’s a handy guide to Windsor Castle and an interesting look at the fortress as it was at the time of Elizabeth II’s accession.
Take a look…
