A Million Years in a Day

A Curious History of Daily Life
A fully revised and updated edition of Greg Jenner's irresistible popular history of everyday life - 'One of my all-time favourite books about history' (Peter Frankopan)

'A wonderful idea, gloriously put into practice. Greg Jenner is as witty as he is knowledgeable' TOM HOLLAND
'Greg Jenner's magpie mind takes you through the history of who we are and what we do, answering tons of questions you never thought to ask' AL MURRAY

Every day, from the moment our alarm clock wakes us in the morning until our head hits our pillow at night, we all take part in rituals that are millennia old. In this gloriously entertaining romp through human history, Greg Jenner (creator and host of You're Dead to Me) explores the fascinating hidden stories behind these daily routines.

This is not a story of politics, wars or great events. Instead, Jenner has scoured Roman rubbish bins, Egyptian tombs and Victorian sewers to bring us the most intriguing, surprising and sometimes downright silly nuggets from our past. It is a history of all those things you always wondered - and many you have never considered. It is the story of our lives, one million years in the making.
