Book Description

This book depicts both the working and social aspects of an older lady’s day in the early 1800’s. Through historic images, historical information, and funny anecdotes, it shows how busy she was kept with running a household, hosting social events, plus raising healthy and happy children. These light-hearted looks at the longer Regency years are an easy to read overview of what people did and wore, and where they worked and played. There is plenty of information to interest history buffs, and lots of pictures to help readers and writers of historical fiction visualize the people and places from the last years of the 18th Century until Queen Victoria took the throne.
