Description
Bryson takes readers on a tour of his house, a rural English parsonage, showing how each room has figured in the evolution of private life. Explores the ways in which homes reflect history, from a bathroom's revelations about medicine and hygiene to a kitchen's exposure of the stories of trade and nutrition.
