Description
With the help of canine history detective Sherlock Bones, this book looks at how life changed in Victorian times, with the introduction of factories and the repercussions this had on the everyday lives of men, women and children. The topics covered include the working and living conditions of factory workers, the hazards of factory life, child employment and protest and reform. Full of fascinating information, the book presents the reader with stimulating questions and prompts to help them compile their own project. It is logically presented, with clear photos, colour artwork, glossary and index.
Reviews / Votes
'The pages are laid out in such a way that the book should prove to be compulsive reading. It would also act as a very real stimulus for students to undertake more research on the subject.' -- School Library Journal, Vol.51, No.2, Summer 2003More details
