Flora Annie Steel and Grace Gardiner's classic work of Anglo-Indian
household life was first published in 1888 and went through ten
editions thanks to its great utility. Tailored specifically for the
British community in India, the book covers household hints,
domestic finances and house management, a glossary of common
domestic terms, and a variety of recipes. For readers today, it
provides a valuable insight into life in British India, as well as
revealing contemporary attitudes to the native Indian people. Steel
and Gardiner were witty and well-travelled women of lively
intelligence, and the book makes entertaining and accessible, if
highly opinionated, reading. Topics covered include the care of
domestic and farm animals, clothing and dressmaking, practical
cooking tips, camp and missionary life, and how to cope with the
idiosyncrasies of the Indian servant. For more information on
