Meet the Tudors

Description

You can learn a lot from what archaeologists and historians have uncovered about the past, but what would the people who actually lived at the time be able to tell you? Meet the Medieval Folk does just that! This book will transport you back to medieval times where you will meet all kinds of people from all walks of life. The Duchess of a grand Tudor house has lost a necklace and thinks it has been stolen. You accompany the constable as he questions lots of people about the missing necklace. Everyone from the laundry maid and a young archer boy, to a priest and an actor will answer your questions and give you the inside information of what it may have been like to live at this time, before you are then transported back to your own era. Encounters with the Past is a brilliant series designed to shine a light on historical ideas about subjects such as medicine, science, religion, food, magic and society. Perfect for readers aged 9-11 who want a more personal account of these fascinating times.
