"England in the Days of Old" by William Andrews is a historical journey through the social landscape of England's past. It provides a window into the customs and traditions that molded English society. It's a continuation of Andrew's earlier book, "Bygone England," crafted to be both educational and enjoyable for a wide audience, from casual readers to history buffs. The book kicks off with a focus on wigs, revealing how they were far more than mere accessories but were a key part of social life, especially during the 1600s and early 1700s. Andrews shows how wigs mirrored social attitudes, telling stories of how people styled them and how they were viewed by society. Through these accounts, it encourages us to consider how yesterday's trends affect us today.
