First published in 1905. Dozens of simple recipes (for breakfast, lunch, and dinner) for children, with a story frame: "Once upon a time there was a little girl named Margaret, and she wanted to cook, so she went into the kitchen and tried and tried, but she could not understand the cook-books, and she made dreadful messes, and spoiled her frocks and burned her fingers till she just had to cry..."
