How to Build a City
Turn the pages of this unique sci-fi book and find yourself back in the Middle Ages, where a poor but clever boy meets a nobleman, the king’s deputy, who is out in the forest searching for a suitable place to build a city. Thanks to a magical top that travels through time as it spins, the boy and the master builder’s daughter embark on an incredible adventure. Not only do they witness the original planning of the city, they also journey through time to see step-by-step how the city grows, develops, and transforms in the future.
The reader will learn a number of fascinating things, such as:
- that cities haven’t always been here
- how their appearance and size change
- why town halls were established
- how cathedrals were built
- in which buildings the upper class lived
- which tradesmen they would encounter 500 years ago, and which ones they would meet 100 years ago
- why city walls were destroyed
