Mrs. Mary Beeton : [cookery book]

Mrs Hugh Fraser on her son (having just described his Chinese nursemaid's indulgent treatment of him): 'He retained his fine appetite till he was five or six years old. Then I found him one night slipping "Mrs. Beeton's Cookery Book" under his pillow. On my asking the motive of his selection he replied, "It is nice to read about the plum puddings even if you can't always get them."'

Century: 1850-1899     Reader/Listener/Group: Fraser      Print: Book
