Gin & Juice: The Victorian Guide to Parenting Alan Tyers

Learn the importance of routine from Gertrude Fjoerd-Mettoed, how to Have It All from Queen Victoria (mother of seventeen and Empress of India), how to tell which twin is the Good One and which the Evil, how to turn a Bad Seed into a Good Egg, how to take your charge from Infancy to Infantry (3-21), and of course all about the Medicinal benefits of Gin and Tobacco. Liberally sprinkled with authentically hilarious Victoriana illustrations, including advertisements for Bob the Empire Builder toys ('Can we annex it? Yes we can!'), 'Who's the Pater' longjohns and the amazing steam-powered breast pump (no fatalities since April!), Gin & Juice will make parents everywhere wish it were 1896.

Gin & Juice Bewertungen

Illustrated in the style of Boz, it contains a lot of sound advice: forget that organic nonsense: give them gin, tobacco, trifle and dunk them in leeches * Daily Telegraph Review, Books of the Year *
For those who like their pregnancy and babycare advice with a good dose of tongue-in-cheek humour * Mother and Baby *
This book is the perfect antidote to those preachy parenting tomes you occasionally come across that leave you feeling somewhat substandard when you consider your own slapdash parenting approach ... a wonderfully refreshing compendium packed full of facts and trivia that could certainly set the cat among today's parenting pigeons ... Just goes to show how much parenting techniques go in and out of vogue * Junior *
Parenting advice from experts of the Victorian era. Chapters include how to discern which is the good twin and which the evil. The perfect look book * The Lady *
[It] gives tongue-in-cheek advice from the likes of 'Gertrude Fjord-Mettod' and Queen Victoria, alongside advertisements for Bob the Empire Builder toys ('Can we annexe it? Yes we can!') and retro illustrations * Independent on Sunday *
