Author Description

November is the perfect time to curl up by the fireside with a cup of tea (or whatever) and the November issue of Victorian Times! This month, we bring you a look at the old stone signs of London; a glimpse of what a wet day in London looked like in the 1880's; a warning about advertising swindles that is as timely today as it was in 1887; a bit of cat folklore; beautiful patterns for tile painting; a look at England's "fireside life" in November; and a roundup of "eccentric ideas" that (fortunately) never became actual inventions. Plus, of course, delicious recipes and useful household tips, snippets from a Victorian scrapbook, "odds and ends," and more! Every month we bring you "the best of Victoriana" selected from dozens of Victorian magazines. Enjoy - and stay warm!
