The book is interspersed with whimsical designs, with the artist creating full-page, full-color illustrations for each month, alongside richly detailed Victorian-style engraved illustrations.
More than just a visual delight, this book is a treasure trove of knowledge, encompassing the wisdom and curiosities of 366 days of the year. From tips on preventing laundry from freezing in winter to the patent year of the safety pin (1849), and the curious fact that only 48 copies of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" were sold on its first day of publication in 1865, each page offers surprises and inspiration. It also includes many practical tidbits, such as using hair clippings to nourish pea shoots or employing garlic to deter moles and snails.
