This book will make you want to live in the Victorian era! It is wonderfully written with fascinating details about life in the early 19th century. Ban Breathnach's ideas for borrowing Victorian traditions are almost inspiring. I think this book would be better suited for larger families, or at least families with more than one child. Many of the traditions sound great but would certainly be fun with siblings to share the experience with. Also if you have only boys, they may not appreciate some of the more flower-themed traditions! Overall this book is a great read, whether you want to incorporate Mrs. Sharp's traditions or not. Sadly, I don't believe Ban Breathnach has written any other Mrs. Sharp books. I would love to read more like this one.
