Housewife Superstar – The Very Best of Marjorie Bligh | Danielle Wood | 2011 [USED – SC]

Danielle Wood's celebration of Marjorie Bligh — the eccentric Tasmanian domestic adviser who published a library of practical books on food, household management, health, beauty, poetry, gardening and recycling, and built a devoted following across Australia through sheer force of personality and practical wisdom.

Marjorie Bligh lived in Campbell Town — in a house just down the street from The Book Cellar — for part of her life, and her books have been a staple of Tasmanian kitchens and households for decades. She has been described as one of Australia's great originals, and Wood's book brings together the very best of her advice and philosophy with biographical context. 

At 217 pages with colour photographs throughout, this is both a practical reference (her advice is largely still good) and an affectionate portrait of a singular Tasmanian figure.
