Description
A young male pickpocket's exploits introduce curriculum themes of town life, work, leisure and health in Tudor times. The book attempts to capture the interest of the young reader by showing the seedy side of Tudor life - the prisons; schools for thieves; hangings; counterfeit beggars and the stocks. The illustrations and photographs show different types of criminals, then shows them in the street, going about their business. Captions encourage readers to search for information hidden in the artwork. This book is one of a series which focus on a day in the life of a fictional character providing the opportunity for a detailed look at how people dressed, ate, worked, travelled and survived in different eras. It aims to combine fictional narrative, informative factual text and quotes to enhance literacy skills and to encourage the reader to consider concepts of time, chronology, biography and diary . - from Amzon
