It answers questions such as "How do you score a joust?," "When did feral wolves become extinct in Britain?," and "How much do you pay the piper?" And what is Shakespeare talking about when he mentions Shove-Groat or Nine Men's Morris? (The modern equivalents are shuffleboard and tic-tac-toe). Included are numerous quotes from original documents and dozens of plates based on period illustrations. Strutt also documents the constant conflict between popular culture and the religious and secular powers."
