The book of Martha
Mrs. Dowdall and Augustus John
Martha runs the house, and everyone else merely lives in it. Mrs. Dowdall's comic chapters take the mistress of a household through the cook, the housemaid, tradesmen, the dinner party, the job gardener, the doctor and the children in turn. Each domestic institution is skewered with affection. Housekeeping's daily comedy, cast and all.
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.
