Everyday life in British history is brought vividly to your nostrils, through scratch-and-sniff panels of typical smells of the period. Informative, amusing text, artwork, poems and puzzles combine with these pungent panels to give children a true "sense of the past"! This volume steps back into the mud and filth of a medieval village, visits the castle's deadly dungeons and the monastery's glorious gardens. Set off on a crusade and try to avoid the Black Death on the way.
