Dear Reader,

The book Tessa uses, Bartleby’s Book of Household Management, was inspired by an actual book. In 1861, Mrs. Isabella Beeton published Beeton’s Book of Household Management. The volume was a compilation of twenty-four installments in the Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine. By 1868, almost two million copies had been sold. I think it’s fair to assume a few of those copies had made it across the pond by the late 1880s.

While the book consists mostly of recipes, many of them copied from other sources, Mrs. Beeton also included tips on household management. Though readers assumed Mrs. Beeton was an elderly woman with gray hair and a starched apron, she was only twenty-one when she started writing the book.

Beeton’s Book of Household Management has been lauded as a glimpse into the history of Victorian England. I had fun comparing the rules and formalities of Victorian England to the rough-and-ready conditions of the Old West.

I hope you enjoyed Shane and Tessa’s story. I love to hear from readers!
