Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Large color photos, maps, and diagrams enhance the text, written like a story. Little fact boxes on each page give readers even more information?This set of books would be checked out often for social studies units and the lower level of readability would make this an attractive series to multi-age levels. Recommended."

Reseña del editor:

William Randolph Hearst always loved castles. As a child he visited many of the great castles of Europe, and he dreamed of building his own one day. In Hearst Castle: An American Palace, young readers will meet this wealthy and powerful newspaperman, who built a media empire while realizing his dream to create his own castle high in the California hills. Students will learn how this mighty structure was built and furnished with priceless artwork, statuary and antiques. Full-color photographs, maps, timeline, and a compelling narrative will inform as well as entertain students.
