Isabella Mary Beeton (1836-1865) was an English editor, journalist, and writer. Her most famous work is her first book, ""Mrs Beetons Book of Household Management"" (1861). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
