Title: The American Frugal Housewife
Review: Here is a book that was worth reprinting. Much of the joy lies in the relating of family events that occurred at its time in history. For example, children learned about growing up by participating in some adult activities (working at knitting scarves and making placemats that would benefit the whole family.) The greater lesson was, of course, learning their own importance in society. Furthermore, in a world where the future has become more uncertain than usual, this book reminds us that our ancestors did not have the conveniences of prepared foods like mayonnaise and jello but that with a minimum of research we can duplicate the same goodness. I smiled from cover to cover.
