Part journal, part commonplace book, among many gems you will find enlightenment and advice on everything from Dreams to Garlic; Patriotism to Wrinkles. Written throughout her life but only discovered after her death, by her great-great nephew, Christopher Rush, Elspeth's (known as Aunt Epp) journal was never intended for publication but her style of writing and the subject matter she covers nonetheless reaches a universal audience. Not afraid to put forth views on the big topics--religion, evolution, and ethical issues--she also tackles the nuts and bolts of living--food, sex and health. Vital, refreshingly frank and always amusing, this guide provides a wealth of sound advice.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Genuinely funny." --<i>Washington Post</i><br><br>A Victorian lady with a sassy style . . .
