You don't just write about an era long gone but you've lived it, worn the clothes, MADE the clothes and then written about it in a fascinatingly entertaining way!Being over seventy now my grandparents were Victorians and I've always hankered after knowing what life was really like for them, now, thanks entirely to Ms Goodman I do know and I just wish I still had my grandmothers to chat with!Of all the books I've ever read about life in Victorian times this is far and away the best and anyone who has a child at school who may be at the point of studying the period, this is the book to get for them!BRILLIANT! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Depends on your reason for buying *by C***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 January 2021* I think this book is really good - but that is the way I intend to use it. I can understand the complaints of people who reviewed it having read it from cover to cover. I am doing a small history of the GP surgery and nuggets of information about Victorian schools and education will fit in exactly, especially as the local primary school will be given the internet version.Having found that, I went on to dip ito other pages, the few line images catching my interest, and I found it fascinating.I am not the kind of person who ever reads a book from cover to cover - this, although Penguin sized is actually quite thick with nearly 500 pages which don't open flat- might make it less comfortable to hold as opposed to putting it on a flat surface. The paper has a 'traditional weight and a yellow tinge.The fact that the author is a known expert through her TV programmes made me think it is aurhorative.I saved some money by buying a 'new' copy. That's what the copy looks like, and it arrived several days early despite the NY holiday. without paying any additional fee.The reduction of1 * is simply because I didn't see it as perfect - more or bigger line drawings , but I am very pleased I got a copy and given it's price perhaps i am being over optimistic! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bringing history alive *by R***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 July 2019* I bought this book primarily for research purposes to complement my genealogy/social history studies, but it is so engagingly written that I am happily reading it all the way through before going back to take notes and pursue leads. Moreover, I am relating parts of it to family and friends and spiking their interest too. Thanks, Ruth Goodman, for bringing history alive! ## Frequently Bought Together - How to Be a Victorian: A Dawn-to-Dusk Guide to Victorian Life - How To Be a Tudor: A Dawn-to-Dusk Guide to Tudor Life - How to Behave Badly in Elizabethan England: A Guide for Knaves, Fools, Harlots, Cuckolds, Drunkards, Liars, Thieves, and Braggarts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/274828616-how-to-be-a-victorian-a-dawn-to-dusk-guide](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/274828616-how-to-be-a-victorian-a-dawn-to-dusk-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
