Part of the excellent So You Think You've Got It Bad? series that’s been developed in conjunction with the British Museum, Chae Strathie’s A Kid's Life in Tudor Times does a top-notch job of putting today’s kids in the stinky shoes of Tudor children.
Every aspect of life is covered around the clock, and across social strata, from homelife, family life, clothes and haircuts, to pets, diet, entertainment and sports. Throughout, Strathie does a thoroughly engaging job of helping readers imagine exactly how life felt for different kinds of Tudors. You can practically feel the itchy, uncomfortable clothes, taste the gloopy pottage, and smell the pig grease anti-flea wraps!
Thoughtfully laid-out, with an eye-pleasing use of boxes and bold text, Marisa Morea’s comic illustrations add humour and energy to every page, and A Kid's Life in Tudor Times amounts to a satisfying banquet of fascinating facts fit for King Henry VIII himself.
Discover what life was really like for kids in the past in this brilliantly funny introduction to the Tudor period.

Chae Strathi e is an award-winning children’s author and journalist who grew up in a tiny village surrounded by a forest in Scotland, which probably explains a lot. His first attempt at professional writing was creating a Star Wars comic at the age of seven. He sold two copies and made a total of four pence. A regular at major book festivals, Chae has toured the length and breadth of the UK and visited schools as far afield as Romania, reading his stories, acting the goat and singing silly songs about worm ice cream and beard-growing. He lives by the sea in Fife with his wife, three annoying cats and a very old goldfish called Lazarus.
