For the men and women of Tudor England there was, just as there is today, more to life than work.\u003c\/b\u003e Four hundred years before the invention of television and radio, they did not lead boring or mundane lives. Indeed, in many ways the richness of Tudor entertainment shames us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile continuing the medieval tradition of tournament and pageantry, the Tudors also increasingly read and attended the theatre. Dancing and music were also popular, and were considered just as important as hunting and fighting for an ambitious Tudor's social skills. Church festivals provided the perfect excuse for revelry, and christenings and weddings were, as they are today, great social occasions. \u003cb\u003eHere, Alison Sim explores the full range of entertainments enjoyed at that time covering everything from card games and bear baiting to interior design.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison Sim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 075245031X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780752450315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Alison Sim","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086806200575,"sku":"9780752450315","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82c167f6-9149-42f2-b194-d762d1867914.jpg?v=1769096690","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pleasures-pastimes-in-tudor-alison-sim-9780752450315","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
