Review

This would be an ideal book for youth to read before they took a trip to an historic village or living history event -- Campfire, June 1995

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

Taken from Chapter 13: The Wigmaker Wigs were worn by those who could afford their expensive prices. Wealthy children as young as seven years old were fitted for wigs. In the early day of the colonies, large wigs were considered fashionable. The most expensive wigs were made from human hair. It was not uncommon for people to have their hair cut off to be woven into wigs. Cheaper wigs were made from horsehair or silk. To keep them clean and neat, wigs needed to be powered with fine sand or flour dust and then shaken and combed. The powder absorbed the oils that built up from the person's own hair underneath. People did not wash their hair very often in those days!

5.0 out of 5 stars History for young readers just doesn't get any better than this!
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2007
For young students of colonial American history, or as preparation for a visit to a living history museum, Bobbie Kalman has presented an amazingly entertaining overview of crafts and the people who do them.

Almost like a visit to Colonial Williamsburg, readers will explore the cabinetmaker, gunsmith, silversmith, wigmaker, milliner and much more! The book is lavishly illustrated with photographs of costumed historical interpreters in authentic settings and written in a lively style that is sure to captivate students.

Like all of Bobbie Kalman's wonderful books, Colonial Crafts is not to be missed!
