The book is a collection ofhints, reminders, scraps of half-forgotten lore, and recipes for food, drink, lotions, floor polishes, and so on, written to persuade the rural or urban housewife that nothing need be wasted. As the book is arranged in calendar form, and as the author has time (or makes time) to step out of the kitchen and revel in the attractions of garden, field and forest, the narration makes absorbing reading. This day-to-day account of garden, kitchen and storeroom activities from 1950 is delightfully illustrated by Leonard Huskinson. D4D Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 008286
