Fabulous book - made my kids laugh out loud! This is how history needs to be presented in school - makes it 'come to life'.As a writer myself, I feel a curious mixture of delight and envy as I read this book...
A unique and educating take on a fascinating topic. March 8, 2002

John Malam has a real touch when it comes to making "school" topics riveting and this book is no exception. Whether this book is being used in the classroom or for pleasure it is sure to amuse. Packed full of fascinating, and sometimes shocking, facts about our Victorian ancestors, it is very well laid out. This is one of the best non-fiction history books for children I have seen.
This book is good, entertaining, and informative. March 2, 2002

This book provides modern young children with an idea of what it was like to be them but in 19th century England.
It is good. It is entertaining. It is informative. And it does seem to be well researched.
So, I would recommend it and agree with the favorable review of the Guardian newspaper.
