it was amazing

Excellent coverage of the Tudor day, from dawn to dusk. Covers everything from why inheriting the second best bed wasn't an insult (beds were very valuable items) to the Tudor belief in "female testicles." Since it covers a great range of subjects, I found some more interesting than others, but in general, a very entertaining and informative read.

Tricia Scott I love this book so far! I love Ruth Goodman. Have you every watched her shows?


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads I wasn't aware she had TV shows - what are they called?


Diana There's Wartime Farm, Victorian Farm, Edwardian Farm, Tales of the Green Valley, Victorian Pharmacy, Tudor Monastery Farm, Secrets of the Castle and Full Steam Ahead. They're all great.


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads Well, I shall have to check all those out, then.

Tracey Poor Will. If he had ever known the controversy that second-best bed would stir up through the centuries...


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads I think I've found at least a couple of them on Youtube.

Railroads? Interesting!
