A la découverte des Châteaux #1

Part of the French educational comics series *À la découverte des Châteaux*, this 2004 volume from I.D. l'édition takes readers to the storied Haut-Koenigsbourg castle in Alsace, rendered in striking detail against a dramatic stormy sky on the cover. A curious young girl in modern dress stands alongside a fully armored medieval knight, suggesting a journey across centuries at the foot of this formidable fortress. By Christophe Carmona, *Le défi du temps* ("The Challenge of Time") promises an engaging blend of history and adventure for anyone fascinated by castles and the eras they witnessed.
