The first history of childhood in Tudor England What was it like to
grow up in England under the Tudors? How were children cared for,
what did they play with, and what dangers did they face? In this
beautifully illustrated and characteristically lively account,
leading historian Nicholas Orme provides a rich survey of childhood
in the period. Beginning with birth and infancy, he explores all
aspects of children's experiences, including the games they played,
such as Blind Man's Bluff and Mumble-the-Peg, and the songs they
sang, such as "Three Blind Mice" and "Jack Boy, Ho Boy." He shows
how social status determined everything from the food children ate
and the clothes they wore to the education they received and the
work they undertook. Although childhood and adolescence could be
challenging and even hazardous, it was also, as Nicholas Orme
shows, a treasured time of learning and development. By looking at
the lives of Tudor children we can gain a richer understanding of
the era as a whole.
