Drift off to sleep with a calm, slow history story about what hygiene really looked like in Anglo-Saxon England in the year 930, from combs of red deer antler and linen washed in a chalk stream to herbs strewn on the floor and remedies from Bald's Leechbook. Follow one family through a warm September day in a Hampshire village on the River Test, told as a gentle bedtime story rooted in real archaeology and Old English sources. Perfect for relaxing, studying, or falling asleep to early medieval history, Saxon daily life, and cozy historical narration.
