FIRST EDITION. VERY GOOD, CLEAN, UNMARKED, UNUSED, TIGHT COPY.

This is a 48 page pamphlet covered by two saddle-stitched boards serving as dust jackets, with the front board illustrated. There is no publication date. Only a 1939 copyright, which we assume corresponds to the publication date. Interesting recipes and very nice small illustrations by Kellum throughout the book.Pages, pamphlet covers, and wooden covers are all in excellent condition. The only fault we could fine is that the upper ribbon tie (the ties seem to be original with the book) is frayed and probably needs to be replaced.

[London]: Andre Deutsch, 1953. Octavo (22 x 14.5 cm.), 186, [1] pages. Illustrated. Glossary. FIRST EDITION. Elizabeth Craig (1883-1980) was the author of several dozen cookbooks, the earliest in the 1920s and the last in 1980, and thus reflect a wide range of situations in England's food culture. Apparently sourced from Queen Victoria's own household scrapbook, the recipes here have been chosen by Craig. "Although this book is primarily a cookery book, it can also be read as a footnote to Court history. Few people will have the courage to follow Queen Victoria's advice and treat a sore throat with a gargle made of cayenne pepper; many, on the other hand, will be glad of such practical recipes as 'King George V's mutton cutlets.' The Court has influenced the country's cooking throughout the centuries. Here is a chance for you to experience this influence in your own home" (from the dust jacket). A bit of offsetting from the jacket flaps to the front endpapers. In publisher's unclipped dust jacket… Read More
