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. From inspecting urine in glass flasks to witnessing battlefield amputations, treating plague victims and serving at the courts of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I, children experience the gruesome realities of Tudor medicine first-hand. Packed with comic-style illustrations, speech bubbles and "Handy Hints", the book balances humour with fun but factual historical detail. Readers encounter Vesalius and early anatomy lessons in Padua, quacks and cunning healers, herbal remedies and the grim world of surgery without anaesthetic. With a glossary and index, this curriculum-linked introduction to the Tudors brings history vividly to life and engages even the most reluctant readers.

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Artikel-Nr.
