Our New Classic Book from 1911 is Ready

Our new paperback book.

 

The Legacy of Home presents our newest book as part of our Classic Book reprint collection.

On a recent trip, I stopped at an antique shop. To my delight, there was a first edition copy (from 1911) of one of my favorite books by Grace Livingston Hill. The price was drastically reduced making it affordable for my limited means. When we returned home, I quickly began typing away to transcribe the entire story into a paperback edition. The original book had beautiful drawings inside. I was able to include these in our current edition, making the book even more enjoyable to read.

Here is a description:

Sweet elderly Aunt Crete lives with her relatives. She meekly helps them with all their household cares. Her unselfish devotion is without appreciation.  An unexpected nephew arrives and whisks her off on vacation.  This charming story of common household labor and the vast difference between struggling and living in luxury are beautifully described. The moral lesson of love and treating others as you would like to be treated shines through. 

Features:

- 8 black-and-white illustrations from the original 1911 edition.

- A photograph of our first edition copy obtained from the antique shop.

- Foreword by Mrs. White

- It is fascinating to read about canning, cleaning, cooking, and sewing that was necessary work in every home in the early 1900's. 

- The lessons of thrift and prudence from Aunt Crete's gracious example are inspiring.

The book is now available:

Aunt Crete's Emancipation: The Legacy of Home Press Classic Edition by Grace Livingston Hill

135 pages, paperback. 

ISBN: 978-1956616-41-5  (5 x 8)

I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did! Any help you can offer with getting the word out about our new book would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Blessings

Mrs. White
