Description: The timeline of this book goes from 1714 - 1837. It tells of lords and ladies with a personal hygiene problem to the starving and pitiful poor. Want to know: If you would make a good bodysnatcher? What the Georgians did with squashed fish eyes? Who wore false eyebrows made from mouse skin? Read about horrible highwaymen, raging revolutions and plundering pirates. And what about disgusting dentists who used peasants for spare parts, and schoolchildren who went to war with their teachers.
