Review:
This book explains how to survive in Tudor England (1485-1603) if you travelled through time back to that era. It started out with a reference to the show Doctor Who (which is about time travel) so I knew I would enjoy this book.
It was a fun read that tells you what to eat, wear, and how to behave. Almost all the chapters had a fictional interview with a famous person associated with that chapter, which was so funny. All of the interviews made me laugh.
How to Survive in Tudor England is an entertaining read for anyone interested in the Tudors!
Thank you Pen and Sword for providing a digital copy of this book.
