A Hearth Library collection
Kitchen, Farm and Fable
Recipes, farm work, animals, fables and lessons in Greek, Latin, Chinese and Japanese
The ancient world at home. Cookbooks, farm calendars, a husband teaching his wife to run a house, animals described by naturalists, fables and children's primers, read in the original with a word-by-word guide. These are the everyday texts behind the Word for Word games on Hearth Games.
