Kay's Marvellous Medicine
Puffin (Verlag)
978-0-241-50854-1 (ISBN)
The olden days were pretty fun if you liked wearing chainmail or chopping people's heads off.
But there was one TINY LITTLE problem back then . . . doctors didn't have the slightest clue about how our bodies worked.
It's time to delve into history and get some answers to some big questions, like:
Why did patients gargle with wee?
Why did people used to get paid for farting? (Unfortunately that’s no longer a thing – sorry.)
How did a doctor save people's lives using a washing machine, a can of beans and some old sausages?
What was the great stink? (No, it's not what doctors call your bum.)
If you're sure you're ready, then pop a peg on your nose (there was a lot of stinky pus back then), pull on your wellies (there was a lot of poo there too), wash your hands (because they certainly didn't) and explore this gross and gruesome history of the human body!

'Like listening to a teacher who makes pupils fall about' - Sunday Times
'Totally brilliant!' - Jacqueline Wilson
