Overview

Lower the drawbridge! Would you like to know what life was like in a castle long ago?

Then come spend the next twelve months in this castle. Check out eight action-packed scenes for a bird’s-eye view of the life and work of lords, ladies, knights, maids, and more. See the castle on market day and during an attack by an enemy lord. Watch knights compete in a tournament. Keep your eye on the calendar too. By spending a whole year in a castle, you can watch events unfold as the seasons change. Lots of things happen during the year. Can you spot them all?

The Time Goes By series let's you spend a whole day (or a whole year) in the same place and watch events unfold. Eight large-scale illustrations combine with simple text to tell the story. A clock or calendar shows time passing, while a "search and find" feature encourages readers to study the artwork up close.
