Gin & Juice by Alan Tyers
Thanks to this attractive and authoritative compendium, hapless modern-day parents will at last profit from the wisdom of an era when Britain led the world in matters of industry, empire and child-rearing...
Illustrated in the style of Boz, it contains a lot of sound advice: forget that organic nonsense: give them gin, tobacco, trifle and dunk them in leeches * Daily Telegraph Review, Books of the Year *
For those who like their pregnancy and babycare advice with a good dose of tongue-in-cheek humour * Mother and Baby *
This book is the perfect antidote to those preachy parenting tomes you occasionally come across that leave you feeling somewhat substandard when you consider your own slapdash parenting approach.. a wonderfully refreshing compendium packed full of facts and trivia that could certainly set the cat among today's parenting pigeons ... Just goes to show how much parenting techniques go in and out of vogue * Junior *
Parenting advice from experts of the Victorian era. Chapters include how to discern which is the good twin and which the evil. The perfect look book * The Lady *
[It] gives tongue-in-cheek advice from the likes of 'Gertrude Fjord-Mettod' and Queen Victoria, alongside advertisements for Bob the Empire Builder toys ('Can we annexe it? Yes we can!') and retro illustrations * Independent on Sunday *
