Synopsis
Take a deep breath and step back into the world of Tudor Odours. Visit the stinking streets, riddled with rats and plague, or the perfumed country houses of the very rich. Take to the seas with the sailors, whether fighting the Armada or adventuring with the great explorers, or drop in on the revolting royals. It all adds up to a uniquely realistic portrait of a very smelly age.
