| Summary | "Living on a Little" by Caroline French Benton is a guide on practical household management written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the art of frugal living, particularly in relation to managing a household budget, preparing meals, and creating an enjoyable home environment on a limited income. The opening chapters introduce the characters, Mrs. Thorne and her sister Dolly, as they navigate the realities of budgeting and managing household expenses, emphasizing the importance of good planning and resourcefulness. The beginning of the book sets the stage for a year-long journey of learning as Dolly, soon to be married, requests to live with her sister to learn the ropes of running a household. The sisters engage in a series of conversations and lessons about budgeting allocations, meal planning, and efficient use of resources. The narrative includes humorous exchanges about their differing experiences and expectations, as well as practical advice on food procurement and cooking strategies designed to make the most out of a modest budget. Dolly’s willingness to learn and Mrs. Thorne's experience offer readers insights into the challenges and triumphs of economical living, creating a relatable and instructional backdrop against which the lessons of the book unfold.
