A Castle Full of Things to Find

Across twelve changing months, the medieval-fantasy castle of King Bolebor and Queen Drogomira becomes a busy setting for an ensemble of residents, from a princess training to become a knight to a dragon tucked away in the cellar. Detailed spreads invite readers to scan each scene for characters and small happenings, while the year’s seasonal changes give the book a clear structure. An escalating mishap involving the neighboring community adds a thread of consequence to the castle’s everyday bustle. The scenes also open up conversation about medieval life, gender stereotypes and playful fantasy details, making the book as much a shared looking-and-talking experience as a story.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children aged 9–12 who enjoy detailed picture-book scenes and seek-and-find play
  • Families or groups looking for a book to explore together and discuss
  • Young readers interested in medieval settings, fantasy characters, and varied castle life

Book overview

These detailed spreads charting the course of a year in a fantasy medieval castle are packed to the brim with charming characters and hilarious adventures that young readers will return to again and again.

There's a lot going on in the castle of King Bolebor--a peace- loving gardener--and Queen Drogomira--a brilliant inventor. There's a princess learning sword fighting so that she can become a knight; a sweet dog in search of an owner; a dragon hiding in the cellar; a gold-counting treasurer; a friendly ghost; an annoying jester, a burly blacksmith--and many others.
Vibrant and intricately detailed spreads take readers through a year in the castle, showing how an innocent mishap leads to war with the neighbors; how lives in the castle change from month to month; and how each season brings its own surprises.
Gently humorous and filled with opportunities to play "I Spy," this delightful picture book also provides ample opportunities to talk about all sorts of topics from history and gender stereotypes to gnomes, ghosts and chess-playing frogs.
