Description

This book allows us to explore a well-liked fantasy. If lets go back in time to the Middle Ages, what would we need to be? A knight in shining armor? A princess in a silken gown? The general public’s lives were a long way less glamorous but just as fascinating. Barbers bring to a halt beards … and sickly limbs; gong farmers wiped clean out latrines … and taken care of in the course of the excrement for dropped buttons or pennies. This fascinating and original guide presents 100 careers, described with historical accuracy and the writer’s renowned wit! Sidebars expound on intriguing elements of medieval life, including the Bayeux Tapestry, Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, medieval cosmetics, and torture techniques! The art provides the reader with further opportunities to have fun and learn.
