English house. Intimate story. Warley L.

Why did people sleep in the Middle Ages? Why are two centuries called "unwashed"? For what reason was the lady of the Victorian era often fainted? How did people do without toilet paper? Why were they afraid to eat fruits? Lucy Warley answers these and many other questions in his bright story about the English dwelling, full of many picturesque, almost tangible details... In this fascinating excursion on the history of the living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, she pays the main attention not to the premises and objects of the interior, but to that how people lived and what people did in bed, in the bathroom, at the table and at the stove.

After reading this book, the reader will see his home with new eyes.
