This beautifully illustrated book takes young readers on an immersive tour of a transformative period in history, when the Industrial Revolution, new inventions, and social change reshaped life in Britain. From grand mansions to crowded workhouses, children will explore the stark contrasts between the lives of the wealthy and the poor, gaining insight into Victorian fashion, food, jobs, education, and even life in prisons and service.Engaging storytelling, vibrant illustrations, and historical facts bring the era to life, while fictional accounts from two Victorian children – one rich and one poor – help readers compare experiences and understand the realities of the time.The book also features hands-on activities, including crafts and recipes, to encourage interactive learning. A timeline highlights key events and laws that shaped the era, and a detailed map showcases the British Empire and trade routes.

Recensioner i media

The newest addition to Saunders’ Live Like a . . . series effectively incorporates her usual appealing, kid-friendly features. The target subject this time around—a typical Victorian—becomes accessible through multiple examples of daily life as experienced in all sectors of society.The ample historical and social context is effectively supported by multiple richly detailed illustrations. Craft projects include paper flowers and toy theaters; there are recipes for treacle tart and work-house gruel (readers are dared to eat an entire bowl). The book ends with open-ended questions to encourage thoughtful reflection...  this makes a worthy addition for most collections.
