Black Death and Other Putrid Plagues of London

The diseases in this book are so horrid and so foul that never again will you complain about having a cold, or even think about bunking off school with an imaginary tummy ache. After reading this book a common cold will seem nothing worse than ... well, a common cold. Over the last 2000 years London has played host to some of the most vile and rampant diseases ever known. The history of London's diseases is also the history of how its citizens have lived, and past generations in London have lived in some very. very poor conditions.
