Excellent coverage of the Tudor day, from dawn to dusk. Covers everything from why inheriting the second best bed wasn't an insult (beds were very valuable items) to the Tudor belief in "female testicles." Since it covers a great range of subjects, I found some more interesting than others, but in general, a very entertaining and informative read.

Full of the small pieces of information that lend colour to dry histories. A good read for those of us who are not plunging into the deep end of history, told by someone who has personally worn the clothes, churned the butter and worked the fields.
