King Alfred burns the cakes, Brother Juniper cooks, and a play-house luncheon gets made for real: housekeeping taught to children through stories and doing. Irish stew and roast pig arrive wrapped in tales from the library of work and play. Domestic skill as childhood adventure. Give a young cook a story to follow.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
