But the American had lived in England long enough to know that this only happened in the pages of a holiday magazine. On the 24th of December, he cheerfully accepted the low, brooding sky, and the delicate tracery of leafless pines. This was the background to the turrets and peacefully stacked chimneys of Stukeley Castle.\u003cbr\u003eEven in this lack of color, the outlines of the long, gray, pile of a castle seemed as wonderful as ever. It still dominated the whole landscape.\u003cbr\u003eThe castle was often described in the local guide-books. Pictures showed a view of its “South Front,” “West Front,” and “Great Quadrangle.” Tales of old said that it was based on a Roman encampment.\u003cbr\u003eImportant papers had recorded the date when a Norman man obtained the royal license to build a castle. It had done duty on Christmas cards with the snow laid on thickly in crystal. It had been lovingly written about by a fair correspondent of the “Eastern Sentinel” with complete disregard of facts.\u003cbr\u003eStukeley Castle was rich in tapestries, paintings, armor, legends, and ghosts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFind out what happens when “the American” spends a night in Stukeley Castle, among its fabled halls, and its ghosts.\u003cbr\u003eThis Educational Version has been edited for children and includes exercises designed to meet Common Core Standards.\u003cbr\u003eAges 9 and up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLearningIsland.com believes in the value of children practicing reading for 15 minutes every day.
