National Trust: Step Inside Homes Through History, by Goldie Hawk (Author), Sarah Gibb (Illustrator)  Format: Paperback
 
Discover how people lived in the past in this illustrated guide to homes through history.
 
In this beautifully detailed, laser-cut book, children can travel back in time and explore homes from seven different eras: Late Middle Ages, Tudor, Georgian, Victorian, 1920s, 1960s and present day. Peek through the windows, discover the rooms inside and spot the family members.
 
Then, learn a bit more about the family, spot the pieces of furniture that appear in more than one house, and find out what people wore in each era - from kirtles and crinolines to flat caps and flapper dresses.
 
This is the ideal book for children curious about how people used to live.
