How to Be a Hermit or a Bachelor Keeps House

From the author of funny classics like "How to Tell Your Friends from the Apes" and "The Decline and Fall of Practically Everybody." Here in "How to Be a Hermit" are humorous essays and stories discussing house cleaning, cooking, sardines, spinach, clams, lettuce, cabbage, beans, coffee, budgets, entertaining, and the holidays. Will Cuppy (1884-1949) wrote extensively on his life as a hermit, the natural world, and just about anything else that proved the world was out to get him.
Think of this book like a humorous memoir by a financially-challenged book reviewer living alone in a shack on an island off Long Island, New York, in the 1920s. "How to be a Hermit" first published in 1929, now public domain, was his first bestseller. Hilarious stuff!
