Soup, Oysters and Surprises by The Honourable Mrs. Lionel Guest. This beautiful recipe book from 1918 shines a rare and dwindling light on what was for supper during the last year of the First World War. Squirrel Soup and Stewed Hedgehog, Pigs in Blankets, Frogs and Eels.

Published under her husband's name, the author was Amy Phipps Guest. A scarce first edition, the book offers a fascinating glimpse into the resourcefulness, curiosities and culinary tastes of wartime Britain.
