I think this is where the understanding of history, that the world was (and could be again) quite different and strange than today.<br>
There is a passage in Carolyn Lawrence's new book where children separated from their parents are seized and sold into slavery, and they disappear without a trace, that starts to show just what it meant to go wandering off on your own. <p></p><i></i>
