Turning On The Taps - The Amazing Story of your Bathroom and its Accessories

A thoroughly entertaining romp through history! Who would believe an innocuous bath could have provoked such passion; 
from sex, scandal, the devil and disease, to royalty, money, religion and class? Filled with fascinating characters, anecdotes and facts, our journey takes us from the heady days of Queen Cleopatra, to Greece and the cut-throat world of shaving; we discover the origins of soap and the extraordinary tooth-powders favoured by the populace; experience the 'Pleasure Domes' of ancient Rome; peak into the secretive world of mirrors in medieval Venice; witness the bawdy 'Stews' of King Henry VIII and uncover the sex and scandals of the Georgian spas.
It may be the smallest room in the house,but your bathroom will never seem the same again.
