About this book
Leaving London after a family bereavement, Miss Coulton and her sister search for a country home that can accommodate six children on a small income. Their account begins with newspaper advertisements, disappointing rents and wasted travel expenses, then turns to the work of making a small farm pay. Cows, poultry, pigs and a kitchen garden become part of a household economy in which effort and cost need to be measured closely.
Written as a beginner's manual, the book mixes practical advice with the mishaps and conversations of daily life. Butter making, bread, animal care and curing hams receive attention, while a story about a clergyman's favorite pigeon brings humor to the business of keeping birds for food.
