YOU WOULDNT WANT TO BE ILL IN TUDOR TIMES (PB) (NEW)

Step into the foul-smelling streets of 16th-century London and discover why you really wouldn't want to be ill in Tudor times. Told through the eyes of Nicholas Knight, a barber-surgeon's apprentice, this lively second-person narrative plunges readers into a world of bloodletting, leeches and alarming diagnoses. Covers everything from inspecting urine in glass flasks to witnessing battlefield amputations, treating plague victims and serving at the royal court. Packed with comic-style illustrations, speech bubbles, "Handy Hints", a glossary and index.
