«You Wouldn't Want to Be Ill in Tudor Times!» is Kathryn Senior's children's history book from Book House, in hardcover (32 pages, in English).
The book explains what it was like to be a barber surgeon in sixteenth-century England, a time when falling ill was very dangerous. With a narrative that puts the reader at the center, it shows medical practices such as amputations with a saw, false noses and ears, and plague masks, with full-color illustrations that combine humor and rigor.
The 2014 edition is part of the You Wouldn't Want to Be... series, with the subtitle Diseases You'd Rather Not Catch.
Aimed at child and young readers aged 8 to 11, it serves as an introduction to history and reference books.
