Back in the Day - 101 Things Everyone Used to Know How to Do

Today’s modern conveniences make life easier, but they have caused us to lose some of the vital skills our ancestors took for granted. The time has come to reacquaint ourselves with the past, thanks to this charmingly nostalgic tome. Step-by-step instructions introduce you to 101 of the most important things we don’t know how to do anymore. Some are practical, like shearing a sheep. Others fun like using a hula hoop. And still more reveal how folks used to behave...would you know the rules of etiquette at a medieval banquet? In no time at all you’ll be able to pluck a chicken, wear a Roman toga, make fire without matches, mount a stag’s head, carve a canoe, use an abacus and even how to pan for gold. The ancient tips, time-tested advice, and bygone suggestions are sure to captivate any reader. Paperback with flaps. 192 pages. Measures 5 1/8 inches W x 7 1/8 inches H.
