This was ok, but not great. I wasn't really taken by the illustrations. Although each chapter was done by a different artist, they all have a similar tone and feel to them. I didn't really like the coloring, and found some of the drawings hard to follow. The stories were interesting, but unfinished, which is the way of history. I would have liked a map to show exactly where Scofield Castle is located. Not awful, but nothing to sing about either.

Interesting history and stories, but the graphic novel sections are done in a way that i often couldn't make sense of the story until i got to the text pages afterward that explained the actual historical facts adapted to make the story. It's a combination of simplistic art style and just plain confusing sequencing, and i could have loved this book if i were able to make sense of the graphic novel sections as stand-alones.

A collection of stories centered around Scotney Castle in Kent. Illustrated beautifully by some of my favorite comic artists/ illustrators.

Such a cool idea for a book that didn't play out well. The stories are short and lacking depth and the changing art style is annoying. I think this would have been much better if it was a longer graphic novel by one artist with historical notes at the back.
I liked Isabel Greenbergs art and pieces of the others, the stories themselves were interesting enought but badly executed.
