Dear Girls:
This book tells the story of Mary Frances, a little girl whose great ambition was to help her mother. So anxious was she to do this that even the humble Kitchen People became her teachers and instructors. They talked to her, a thing never heard of before; helped her over the hard places, and explained mysterious secrets she could never otherwise have understood. They wove around a simple little book of recipes her mother had made for her the spell of Fairyland; they led her through a series of delightful adventures such as never happened to any girl before, in which she lived for three whole happy weeks, and out of which she emerged no longer a little girl, but a real little woman.

reviewed Mary Frances Cook Book: Or Adventures among the Kitchen People on March 05, 2017 Mary Frances Cook Book: Or Adventures among the Kitchen People
I have an original edition of this hard cover book and cannot find the cover here. There were no ISBN numbers. Published in 1915. By June Eayre Fryer. It's full of stories and recipes for youngsters and lively illustrations. My grandmother gave me this book when I was a child; there's good in being the eldest in a family. Like all the kids before me, including my mother, who loved this book, I embellished it with my own drawings and a few words. (sigh) There is a story about a bum and marks he leaves so other bums know where to find a friendly meal. There are napkin folding instructions, and more. The original cover design is in color of a young lady and her cat in front of an old fashioned stove talking to the teakettles, because of course everything and everyone in the book talks. Oddly, the wall behind her has what appear to be subway tiles on it, and I now have those in my kitchen! I never noticed that before now.
This book will be passed along to my own granddaughters, maybe when they're old enough to know not to deface the book, although I don't think I left any blank pages unadorned, alas.
