How To Be A Tudor

Product Description

The Tudor era encompasses some of the greatest changes in our history. But while we know about the historical dramas of the times
- most notably in the court of Henry VIII
- what was life really like for a commoner like you or me?

To answer this question, the renowned "method historian" & historical advisor to the BBC Ruth Goodman has slept, washed & cooked as the Tudors did
- so you don't have to! She is your expert guide to this fascinating era, drawing on years of practical historical study to show how our ancestors coped with everyday life, from how they slept to how they courted.

Using a vast range of sources, she takes you back to the time when soot was used as toothpaste & the "upper crust" of bread was served to the wealthier members of the house. Exploring how the Tudors learnt, danced & even sat & stood according to the latest fashion, she reveals what it all felt, smelt & tasted like, from morning until night.
