Product Information
In 1796 a young farmer's wife, Anne Hughes, decided to start a diary to 'set down all that I do every day' and so, for 13 months we learn of Anne's day to day life, of the butter maken that sometimes 'was longe time cummin' of collecting honey, pudden making, making merrie and of all the social activities and hard work that was then the lot of a farmer's wife. This is an extraordinary document, rediscovered in the 1930s, written by a young woman who lives and breathes in it's pages. 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! You will adore the quirky, charming, hilarious and educational insight into the life of 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!Product Identifiers

Makes you value what's important: people and practicalities.
Such a joy to read. The day to day emotions and practicalities. There are some doubts regarding the authenticity, but what a lovely read. Little House on the Prairie meets Samuel Johnston meets Anne Lister. Splendid. My new comfort read.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
