The books are concerned, not with the kings and wars and politicians of conventional history, subjects remote from the experience of young readers, but with the way in which ordinary men and women lived and moved and had their being: the food they ate, the clothes they wore, how they travelled, the houses they lived in, and the scientific advances which most affected their lives at each period..."
