The Little Duke

Viac o knihe

Set in the year 943, the story unfolds in the Castle of Bayeux, Normandy, characterized by its large, low hall with an arched roof and thick stone walls. The small, glassless windows allow rain to beat against the deep sills, while the interior features tiled floors and a smoky atmosphere from fires at either end, creating a dark, medieval ambiance. The detailed description of the castle's architecture and environment sets the stage for a historical narrative filled with the sights and sounds of the era.
