Beryl Irving | Restored Irving family hardback edition
First published by Seeley Service in 1941, The Family Week-End Book is Beryl Irving's large, good-humoured compendium of family life: economical cooking, children's games, gardens, parties, pets, household hints, etiquette, old herb recipes, and the thousand small practical rituals that made up the domestic world of mid-century Britain.
This Irving Books edition restores the title as a handsome hardback family volume. It is warm, eccentric, and full of period flavour: a book to browse, gift, annotate, and leave on a kitchen or drawing-room table.
The book is republished for historical and literary interest. Some advice reflects the period in which it was written and should not be relied upon as medical, legal, childcare, veterinary, dietary, or household-safety guidance.
Beryl Irving (1896-1965) was an author, illustrator, and broadcaster. She wrote and illustrated children's books including The Dawnchild, contributed to periodicals, and was part of the Irving family of writers, artists, and naval officers.
