This volume uses Shakespeare's childhood home, preserved by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, as the focal point in a discussion about daily life in Elizabethan England. Construction, interior decoration, food, and the roles of men, women, and children are covered in the dry but accessible text, which is accompanied by color photographs. Reading list, timeline.
