There is a land where everyone shops for pieces of history. In this book readers can meet the three scavengers who make a list of customer orders, then travel to historic times and places to find the goods. As children search each historic scene for the scavengers, they will come across such characters as a knight at a Medieval joust, and a boy actor dressed as a girl at the Elizabethan Globe Theatre. Each scene includes quirky historical facts for parents and children to discuss, and a timeline of characters shows the chronological order of the book. The junk shop at the end of the book is packed with items from each period to recognize. This book is full of details of historical costume and setting.
