Publisher's summary

Want to know how to garden with lobsters? How to sober up? Grow a beard? Or simply how to make a perfect omelet? Look no further. Rather, look backward. Based on the popular blog, Ask the Past is full of the wisdom of the ages - as well as the fad diets, zany pickup lines, and bacon Band-Aids of the ages. Drawn from centuries of antique texts by historian and bibliophile Elizabeth P. Archibald, Ask the Past offers a delightful array of advice both wise and weird. Whether it's 18th-century bedbug advice (sprinkle bed with gunpowder and let smolder), budget fashion tips of the Middle Ages (save on the clothes, splurge on the purse) or a 16th-century primer on seduction (hint: Do no pass gas), Ask the Past is a wildly entertaining guide to life from the people who lived it first.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.
