Kirby, Mary and Elizabeth. Aunt Martha's Corner Cupboard. Chicago: A. Flanagan, 1927. Hardcover children's book. Illustrated. 10 stories dealing with the production of food that Aunt Martha tells to Charley and Richard Knight, two good-natured but lazy boys. Her goal is to inspire the kids to adopt a better work ethic, and she does. The illustrations in this antique child's book are just great! A fascinating, engagingly written, aptly illustrated chronicle of the ways some of our food ...staples arrived in our kitchens: tea, sugar, coffee, salt, currants, rice, and honey. Some out-of-date but nonetheless interesting perspectives on race, class and gender.
