The Black Death and Other Putrid Plagues of London,
By Lisa B. Neisen "Lisa716" (TX, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Black Death and Other Putrid Plagues of London (Of London series) (Paperback)
I bought this book for my daughter for a class research project. It discussed the disease, "cures", and the many myths surrounding the cause of the plague. It is informative without being too graphic and it was very helpful for my daughter's research.
