In The Worst Childrens Jobs in History Sir Tony Robinson takes you back to the days when being a kid was no excuse for getting out of hard labour. This book tells the stories of all the children whose work fed the nation, kept trains running, and put clothes on everyones backs, over the last few hundred years of Britains history.No longer will you have to listen to your parents, grandparents, uncles, neighbours, and random old people in the Coop telling you how much harder they had it in their day. Next time you find yourself in that situation, ask them if they were a jiggerturner or a turnippicker in their young day. No? An orderly boy, perhaps? A stepper? Maybe they spent their weekends making matchboxes? Still no? Then they have no idea about the real meaning of hard work.With profiles and testimonies of real kids in rotten jobs, this book will tell you things you probably didnt want to know about the backbreaking, pukeinducing reality of being a child in the past.For more gruesome history facts discover Bad Kids The Naughtiest Children in History.
