"We know about the historical dramas of Tudor times the court of Henry VIII and the break from Rome. But what was life really like for a commoner like you or me? Ruth Goodman has spent months at a time sleeping, eating and (sometimes not) washing like a Tudor. Learn how to say your prayers, plough the fields, starch a neck ruff and write courtly letters in true Tudor fashion. Without banks, discover that credit is dependent on your appearance and fashion is the realm of men. Because sheep are physically smaller and wool is more expensive, learn to mend your clothes - your most-prized possessions. Ruth has lived like a Tudor so you don't have to!"--Publisher description.
