A fascinating glimpse of real life for a London family in the early 19th century

"Rich in incidental information"

* The Oldie *

"Constitutes a fascinating and detailed account of the social and domestic experience in London at the turn of the 19th century."

* Journal of the London Society *

"Superb little handbook to a 19th century way of life. Well illustrated and well presented. Full marks to Pimpernel for presenting us with this excellent and updated reprint of the original 1997 document."

* Kent Life *

"What was life like for the Soanes and their servants was a question that intrigued Museum Archivist Susan Palmer. What did they drink? How did they keep warm? What was their social life like? ...Illuminating."

* Ham & High *
