In theory this book would contain early 20th-century British recipes. Unfortunately, however, the author has taken great latitude in what is actually included. Equally unfortunately, few sources are given. I thought this was going to be a splendid book (especially when compared to other wretched books of this ilk), but it is not. Gorgeous, yes. Palatable recipes, probably. But the connection to Beatrix Potter is at times most tenuous. Illustrated with b w photos, and pictures from the various Beatrix Potter books.
