Description
Covering the Roman invasion to the reign of Queen Victoria, Tony Robinson uncovers how – behind all the great men and women who have made the headlines – there has been an unseen army undertaking hard, dangerous and unpleasant work. The very names ‘Powder Monkey’, ‘Seeker of the Dead’ and ‘Spit Boy’ underline the fact that the past is a different and fairly disgusting country. First Edition. Hardcover. Published by Boxtree 2004
