Home-keeping and house-keeping are different arts, and Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote essays to prove it. House and Home Papers considers what a home is, the economy of the beautiful, and raking up the fire, fireside talk from one of America's great voices. Domestic philosophy with real warmth in it. Pull a chair up to Stowe's own hearth.

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.
