Description
|
|
|
|
Illustrated with richly detailed painted cartoons, this book depicts the history of sleeping arrangements in the Western world, for readers 7 to 11 (though even adults may learn a thing or two). From the communal bedrooms of the Stone Age to the elevated platforms and upholstered couches of the Egyptians and Romans, from the return to communal rooms in the Middle Ages to the eventual reappearance of bed chambers, and developments in bed linens, sleepwear, and mattresses, this book chronicles the lengths to which we have gone to get a good night's sleep.
