Description
"My name is Augustus Town Mouse. I'd like to show you round our house." The year is 1900 and Augustus Town Mouse would like to show you around the tall terraced house where he lives with his family and a host of servants. Upstairs, there are grand dinners in the dining room with the butler close at hand, and lessons in the schoolroom with the governess. Meanwhile, below stairs, Cook conjures up delicious meals in her vast kitchen and welcomes those who call at the door. Peep inside and discover what life would have been like if you had lived in the upper class in a busy town a hundred years ago. The unique artwork of Nigel Brooks and Abigail Horner illustrates in exquisite detail all the elements of turn-of-the-century town life.
