Did you know that kings AND queens wore fake beards in ancient Egypt? Or
that hair was used in medicine at the height of the Incan Empire? Or that
Queen Elizabeth I had more than 80 wigs in various shades of red? Kathleen
Krull and Peter Malone start at the dawn of history and bring us up to
contemporary times, using incredible bits and bobs of hair fact and lore
to show us just how much things have changed (and how they haven’t!).
This is the perfect way to introduce young readers to the idea of a
longitudinal study. And it’s also an irreverent and playful look at what
funny fashion victims we humans have always been!
Deserves a permanent spot on every bookshelf. (Get it?)
