<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>At Histories of the Unexpected, we believe that everything has a history - even the most unexpected of subjects - and that everything links together in unexpected ways. In this book we take this approach into the Tudor world. You will find out here how the history of shrinking is all to do with the Spanish Armada; how the history of oranges is all to do with Tudor spies; how the history of monsters is all to do with those famous Tudor queens Mary I and Elizabeth I. Histories of the Unexpected not only presents a new way of thinking about the past, but also reveals the everyday world around us as never before. --<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The Histories of the Unexpected series not only presents a new way of thinking about the past, but also reveals the world around us as never before. Traditionally, the Tudors have been understood in a straightforward way but the period really comes alive if you take an unexpected approach to its history. Yes, Tudor monarchs, exploration and religion have a fascinating history . . . but so too do cannibalism, shrinking, bells, hats, mirrors, monsters, faces, letter-writing and accidents! Each of these subjects is equally fascinating in its own right, and each sheds new light on the traditional subjects and themes that we think we know so well.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Sam Willis </b>is a historian who has made 12 TV series for the BBC and National Geographic, including <i>The Silk Road</i>, and has written 14 books, including <i>The Struggle for Sea Power </i>and<i> In the House of Victory</i>. <b>James Daybell</b> is a historian who has written eight books and appeared in a number of historical BBC TV documentaries.
