Growing Up In 13th Century England, 1962 Hardcover

Growing Up in 13th Century England by Alfred Duggan was copyrighted in 1962 and offers a detailed, engaging look at everyday childhood life in medieval England. Using the 1270s as a representative period, Duggan follows children from five different social classes, including an earl’s family, a knight, a peasant, a merchant, and a craftsman, bringing medieval society to life through clear, narrative storytelling.

Illustrated by C. Walter Hodges, the book blends historical accuracy with strong visual appeal and remains a well-regarded work of historical nonfiction for young readers and adults alike.
