Book Guide

In Architecture Shown to the Children, Gladys Wynne opens the door to a world of beauty, creativity, and history hidden in the buildings around us. With clear, engaging explanations and delightful illustrations, Wynne takes readers on a captivating journey through the story of architecture—from ancient wonders to modern marvels.

More than just a guide to famous buildings, this charming book invites readers to look closer at the structures they encounter every day. Wynne shows how architecture reflects human dreams, culture, and ingenuity, inspiring young and curious minds to see the world through fresh eyes.
