Allen, Kathy
The Horrible, Miserable Middle Ages: The Disgusting Details About Life During Medieval Times
(4)
4-6
Fact Finders: Disgusting History series.
This volume focuses on everyday life in the Middle Ages, with special emphasis on the rougher, dirtier aspects of living in that era. The gross-out information is all over the place; nevertheless, the hook will likely capture readers' attention. Plenty of captioned illustrations and "Foul Facts" provide supplemental material that highlights these topics not traditionally discussed in history books. Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind.
