Book Review - What the Butler Winked At

What the Butler Winked At: Being the Life and Adventures of Eric Horne, ButlerWhat the Butler Winked At: Being the Life and Adventures of Eric Horne, Butler by Eric Horne


My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Marvelous stories of servant hood from the 1860s until 1922. Mr Horne tells of a time when servants worked very hard and were not honored by most of their employers. I felt like he was sitting talking with me about his life and work, trying to do it in an orderly way, but now and then throwing in an out of sequence account or a funny story. Very engaging.
