About

From the author of The Way Things Work, whose books have won numerous awards and sold millions of copies-and delighted readers young and old alike-this is a lively, detailed, and lavishly illustrated account of the building of a cathedral, and the community around it, through many decades.

Caldecott Medal winner David Macaulay's imaginary Cathedral of Chutreaux remains a touchstone for budding architects as well as those interested in medieval history. Journey back to a long-ago world and visit the fictional people of twelfth-, thirteenth-, and fourteenth-century Europe whose dreams, like Cathedral, stand the test of time.
