How did people live in ancient times? Where did they sleep and eat? How did they bathe and wash their clothes? How did they cook their food and furnish their homes? This book takes us from prehistoric times all the way up through the Ancient Egyptians, Greek and Roman Empires, and into the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Victorian era, and into the Modern Era.

I love the way this book is divided into sections for bathroom, washing machine, kitchen, cooker, cutlery, living room, wallpaper, board games, bedroom, and a few others. We follow the development of techniques and technology through the ages as people live their ordinary lives in history.

I really liked the illustrations that show how people used what was available to them in clever ways to make their everyday jobs easier and more efficient. The art work is excellent and does a great job of illustrating the past in a clear way.

I learned so much in this book! The information is interesting and fun!
