That depends. If you really are looking for books describing said
construction "in Prolog", you may wish to check out "The Art of Prolog"
by MIT Press. The last chapter in this book presents a simple compiler
for a Pascal-like language.

If, however, you're looking for books about constructing a Prolog
interpreter/compiler, check out
http://www.vanx.org/archive/wam/wam.html. This has a free book you can
download describing the Warren Abstract Machine, a fairly powerful
Prolog compiler.
