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
