Family Appeal,
By Mitch Evich (Somerville, Mass.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Holy Terrors: Gargoyles on Medieval Buildings (Hardcover)
"Holy Terrors" is that rarest of books, one that is of genuine value to adults curious about art and architecture, but also very much capable of holding the interest of children. My five-year-old son loves the pictures--especially the "Hairy human with animal head" that adorns the cathedral in Burgos, Spain. We also both appreciate the excellent selection of medieval illustrations, such as Schongauer's "Temptation of Saint Anthony." Skimming through "Holy Terrors" is a fun way to introduce kids to one of the cultural treasures of Europe.

gothic terror,
By Chris Wozniak (grand island NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Holy Terrors: Gargoyles on Medieval Buildings (Hardcover)
...I got the two books Holy Terror's and American Gargolyes... it was a great deal. The book is loaded with pictures of gargoyles from across america and desrcibes what type of gargoyle and where it is located in america. The photographs are beautiful and descriptive through out the book. If you gargoyles get the two books for the price of one. Highly Recommended!!!!
