    A great book about how cathedrals were built

    A fascinating look at how cathedrals were built. All done with pen and ink illustrations, but they are detailed and interesting. Good for adults and younger children.

    A gem for readers of all ages.

    This is a wonderful story and explanation about how the cathedrals were built. It reveals how much planning and skill were involved. I thought of Notre Dame of Paris while reading it.
