Mrs. Dunwoody's Excellent Instructions for Homekeeping: Timeless Wisdom and Practical Advice Book

Mrs. Dunwoody is a character based on the author's great grandmother and other traditional Southern women who believe in the importance of making a house a home.

Here, Mrs. Dunwoody presents her time-tested secrets for everything from housecleaning to houseguests, letter writing to gentlemanly conduct, reliable wisdom to traditional Southern recipes, all peppered with genteel humor and wit. Mrs. Dunwoody will help readers turn their house into a home with chapters on the Art of Homekeeping, Miss Sallie Anne's Splendid Directions for Laundry, the Art of Entertaining, Matters of Formality, Notes and Recipes from the Kitchen, Marriage and Family, and much more.
