Lovingly gathered by Mr. Americana himself from colonial-era almanacs and diaries, hundreds of brief reflections spread time-honored wisdom on everything from curing hiccups, lighting a proper fire, and mending clothing and furniture, to predicting the weather, making soap, and getting rid of ants, bees, swallows -- and boring houseguests. Sloane's evocative drawings add the perfect finishing touch.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>The books of Eric Sloane celebrate the time-honored traditions of early America and remind us of the ties that forever bind us to them.
