A vivid account' - Philippa Gregory, The TimesIn the mid-seventeenth century, England was divided by Civil War, but inside the home domestic life continued as it always had done. Lady Ann Fanshawe's 'receipt book' was a treasured and entirely feminine response to the upheavals of war, which left few doctors to be found. And so Ann's morocco-bound book full of scraps of ink-stained paper contained everything from lifesaving remedies to recipes for hot chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing Ann's receipt book and the memoirs she wrote for her surviving son, Lucy Moore follows her through this turbulent time as she leaves home, marries, bears - and buries - children and seeks to hold her family together. Lady Fanshawe's Receipt Book brilliantly illuminates the life and times of an English woman's Civil War.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moore, Lucy (Author)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42537998581944,"sku":"9781782398127","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9781782398127.jpg?v=1734712126","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9781782398127","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
