Książka używana, w języku angielskim Stan książki: db Oprawa: miękka Ilość stron: 166 Rok wydania: 1984
This is an extraordinary document written by a young woman who lives and breathes in it s pages as she did then. It describes a domestic, endlessly busy and clever but also loving and tender Anne Hughes who devoted her life to her husband and their farm. With recipes for Pansy Wine , Maye Daye cakes and how to bake a hare and with stories of love and scandal, you will be touched by her memoirs and laff so hartilie at her stories, language and experiences. It is truly a book for all! Jeanne Preston has compiled here not only a book every Chief will adore but also a quirky, charming, hilarious and educational insight into the life of farmer s wife, Anne Hughes and 18th Century lifestyle as a whole. Do not be fooled into thinking that the audience of this book will be concentrated into a small sector of folk, specifically interested in cooking and historical bibliography. I challenge anyone to open and read just a few pages of this book and not be compelled to finish it off! Possibly without putting it down!
