Guardian Bookshop Notes:
Subtitled, "A 2,000-Year Tour Through The Filth & Fury Of Living History". Following an encounter with an outside toilet, Moore felt compelled to look back over history to see how people in the past lived, and experience it for himself. His journey through 2,000 years worth of history sees him enter the world of re-enactment, from the Iron Age to the Steam Age, as Roman legionary to Yankee spy, sharing bramble leaves and daft hats. 'Moore is a talented and very funny writer' "Daily Telegraph"
Publisher's description:
An odyssey through 2,000 years of filth and fury, where men were men, the nights were black, the world was your outside toilet and everything tasted faintly of leeks.
