  As we try to get to grips with the latest technology and keep up with today's speedy pace of life, many of the domestic skills we used to have at our fingertips are being lost. But, as Granny's Book of Good Old-Fashioned Common Sense will show you, traditional home crafts are not incompatible with modern lifestyles.Here you can rediscover all sorts of things that will not only make your life greener and easier but more fun too. Granny's hints and tips will help you realise that household chores become almost effortless and more environmentally friendly than you could imagine. You'll find that providing nourishing home-cooked meals doesn't have to be time-consuming and that growing your own organic fruit and vegetables brings a sense of fulfilment like no other. Granny can also teach you how to knit and sew - just think of the feeling of achievement you'll have when you finish your first knitted garment or piece of embroidery! And children can learn a thing or two from Granny as well. Simple games using just paper and pencils will help to pass those rainy days and, for the more adventurous, there are dolls and puppets to make and stories to invent. The kids will love it and so will you! Granny presents everything in easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions with comprehensive diagrams and photographs to accompany the text so, whether you need a helping hand in the kitchen, the garden, the parlour or the nursery, you can trust Granny to show you the way.
