You name it, the Victorians knew how to do it, from baking a nice plum cake to correcting an Irish brogue. And when they needed advice or a chuckle, they found it in the popular Enquire Within, originally published in 1856 and now delightfully recalled in this entertaining pocket edition. A fun-filled glimpse into times gone by. Hardcover; 214 pages, illustrated.
