From "The Blairs were a particularly nice family. That is what the neighbors always said of them, and, to tell the truth, the Blairs believed it. That is, the father and mother thought the children were particularly nice, and the children thought their father and mother and each other particularly nice; and so, of course, they all must have been very nice indeed. Saturdays and Sundays and vacation days were all holidays to them, and they did such interesting things, and laughed so much as they did them, that everybody said, "What good times those Blairs do have!" Jack and Mildred Blair were named after their father and mother, and Brownie, whose real name was Katharine, was named for her grandmother; so to avoid getting everybody mixed, the children were called the Junior Blairs by everybody. Now it happened that there were ever so many uncles and aunts and cousins who were Blairs, too, but most of them lived a long way off, and they were very seldom able to get together for a family party; but this winter, ten of them were coming to spend Christmas with the real Blairs, and, as five of them were between fourteen and twelve, the ages of Mildred and Jack, and some more about nine, like Brownie, they were all planning to have the very nicest sort of a time, and everybody was as excited as could be. Christmas was only two days away, when, suddenly, it began to snow. And how it snowed! The flakes came down steadily hour after hour, and soon the sidewalks were covered, and the steps were buried, and the piles of snow almost covered the gate. Everybody said that all the trains were delayed; and it was not long before the little Blairs began to whisper, "Whatever shall we do if they can't get here in time for Christmas?" Mother Blair guessed what the trouble was, and said cheerfully that, of course, the snow would stop falling before long, and the trains would be on time in the morning. "And a beautiful white Christmas is the loveliest thing in the world," she added. But the children looked out of the window and were afraid, deep down in their hearts, that something dreadful might happen. "If we only had something nice to do right now," groaned Jack, "so we could forget the snow. But we can't trim the tree till everybody comes to help, and the presents are all tied up, and there isn't anything Christmasy to do that I can think of." "Why not cook?" suggested Mother Blair, "There are lots of things to make-Christmas things, you know." Mildred began to brighten up. "If we could cook things all alone, I'd like that," she said. "Boys don't cook," Jack said scornfully, still looking out of the window."

Part storybook and part cookbook, A Little Cookbook for a Little Girl introduces us to Margaret, a pint-sized and persistent scamp who desperately wants to do "little girl cooking," all by herself. Her mother, her grandmother, her "Pretty Aunt" and her "Other Aunt" attempt to hold her off until she's older, but Margaret prevails and learns to create Victorian-era breakfasts, suppers, dinners and desserts. We've left Caroline French Benton's original language and all of the antique colloquialisms of the early 1900's intact, but have edited the visual format for easier modern reading of this lovely antique cookbook. In addition, we've annotated a few things, in case you aren't quite sure what a "timbale" is, or just how much a "saltspoonful" holds. If you enjoy Margaret's culinary adventures in A Little Cookbook for a Little Girl, be sure to watch for future volumes in our Caroline French Benton series.
