History with the nasty bits left in! 'The Gorgeous Georgians' tells you all about the people who lived in these riotous times - from lords and ladies with a personal hygiene problem to the starving and pitiful poor. Want to know if you'd make a good body-snatcher? What the Georgians did with squashed fish eyes? Who wore false eyebrows made from mouse skin? Read on for incredible information on horrible highwaymen, raging revolutions and plundering pirates. Find out about the gorgeous guys who wore wigs, lipstick and blusher, disgusting dentists who used peasants for spare parts, and schoolchildren who went to war with their teachers. History has never been so horrible!
