As a holiday, 'A Fortnight in the Iron Age' may not be everyone's idea of fun. But that is exactly what the Danish family Bjornholt decided to do. Father, mother and three children volunteered to live the arduous, uncomfortable and eventually smelly life of an Iron Age family at the Danish Museum of Lejre. Magnus Magnusson records their trials and tribulations as the family contend with the 'luxuries' of two small cows, some chickens, a pile of raw grain and nothing but contemporary pots and implements to help them survive. No one was more surprised than the family at their unconscious reactions to life in the Iron Age.
