Silver Burdett Ginn Mathematics (Answer Key: Practice, Extra Practice, Practice Workbook) Book

The History of Myddle is a wonderful over-the-garden-wall gossipy read, as well as being a great primary historical source. Written in 1700, the author basically goes through every pew in his local church and tells stories of the people who sat there. For example:

"Richard Cleaton went into the furthest part of this County; and below Bridgnorth he gott another wife, and had severall children by her. At last, Anne Tyler, his first wife, caused him to bee apprehended, and indicted him att an Assizes at Bridgnorth upon the statute of Poligami. Shee proved that shee was marryed to him, but could not prove that hee was married to the other woman, but only that hee lived with her. The other woman denied that shee was marryed to him; and thereupon the Judge sayd: "Then thou art a whore." To which shee answered "the worse luck mine my lord." Cleaton was acquitted, and went out of the country with the other woman, and I never heard more of him."
