À propos de cet audio

The Tudor era encompasses some of the greatest changes in our history. But while we know about the historical dramas of the times, what was life really like for a commoner?

To answer this question, the renowned 'method historian' Ruth Goodman has slept, washed and cooked as the Tudors did. She is your expert guide to this fascinating era, drawing on years of practical historical study to show how our ancestors coped with everyday life, from how they slept to how they courted.

Exploring how the Tudors learnt, danced and even sat and stood according to the latest fashion, she reveals what it all felt, smelt and tasted like, from morning until night.

I was excited to find Goodman's books on Audible. I'm a big fan and I always appreciate her focus on the social history of people other than the rich and famous. Despite the fact she's not narrating, her enthusiasm and personality shine through in the writing. Patience Tomlinson does a great job though and has quite a pleasant voice to listen to. #Audible1 .

Would Expect Nothing Less from Ruth Goodman

Is that it was not narrated by Ruth herself, which I would have loved. The narrator, Patience Tomlinson, does a good job, however, so all's well that ends well. I would absolutely love to hear even more about this fascinating time period and could easily have listened to a book twice as long. That said, there is sufficient detail to give the audience a sense that they've got a good grasp on the intricacies of Tudor life while not being bogged down in minutia. Bringing in information from actual people who lived at the time (via surviving records relevant to the subject of each chapter) brings it to life. One appreciates all of the research (including experimental archeology) that went into this book. I'll be listening to it again, I'm sure. Dear Ruth, please narrate your next audiobook - your fans would like to hear from *you*. =)

My only qualm...
