Overview / 简介: |
| The gorgeous Georgians may have loved preening in mirrors and prancing about in powdered wigs and pantaloons, but trust us - they were really rotten underneath! From lords and ladies' sneaky schemes for hiding their personal hygiene problems to the horrible hardSheps suffered by the poor, find out the real story. It's got horrible highwaymen, raging revolutions, plundering pirates, and guys wearing wigs and make-up. Plus the schoolchildren who went to war with their teachers! It's better than Hollywood - and - much more horrible. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| There are some awful jokes in this book but you can't deny that it IS fun. Well-illustrated, the book looks at the politics and life during England's Georgian period. By no means a serious history, it nonetheless provides some fun trivia worth knowing. |
