How to be a Victorian - a time traveller's guide to Victorian Britain
by the BBC's Ruth Goodman

We know what life was like for Victoria and Albert. But what was it
like for a commoner like you or me? How did it feel to cook with
coal and wash with tea leaves? Drink beer for breakfast and clean
your teeth with cuttlefish? Dress in whalebone and feed opium to
the baby? Surviving everyday life came down to the gritty details,
the small necessities and tricks of living.

Drawing on Ruth's unique first-hand experience, gained from living

on a Victorian farm for a year, this book will teach you everything
you need to know about 19th century living.

If you liked A Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England or If
