Curious Victorians Curious Victorians: 150 Bizarre Facts From The Victorian Era (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798273048713)

Step back into an era where innovation met insanity, manners masked madness, and progress occasionally proved fatal.

Curious Victorians is a delightfully macabre exploration of true facts from the 19th century-when beauty treatments could kill, science flirted with the supernatural, and everyday life was anything but ordinary.

From arsenic ball gowns to corpse trains and electrified corsets, each volume peels back the lace curtain on the bizarre habits, inventions, and social customs that defined the Victorian Age.

This collection includes:

• Curious Victorians: 150 Bizarre Facts from the Victorian Era - uncovering the deadly, the daft, and the disturbingly polite.
• Curious Victorians: Volume II - 150 More Bizarre Facts from the Victorian Era - diving even deeper into the eccentricities, oddities, and occasionally stomach-turning truths of 19th-century life.

Perfect for lovers of strange history, dark humor, and all things delightfully dreadful.
