But can you imagine the blissful ignorance?
No social media.
No phones.
No 24 hour news cycle.
Almost no literacy.
Just a town crier once a week or month or whenever our lord thought there was important news to share.
The travelling minstrel, or dance troupe, or puppeteer coming through annually and doing shows for a few nights before carrying on to the next town.
