Summary: "The Library of Work and Play: Housekeeping" by Elizabeth Hale Gilman is a practical guide on the art of household management, likely written in the early 20th century. This work serves to educate readers, particularly women, on the various aspects of running a home effectively and joyfully, emphasizing the importance of both organization and creativity in domestic spaces. The opening of the book introduces the concept of "play-houses" through an imaginative exploration of children's play and the importance of fun in domestic work. It begins with a whimsical account of a child's delight in creating a playhouse using nature and simple items found in their environment, illustrating how this imaginative play can help children learn about the roles and responsibilities of housework. Through vivid descriptions of pretend cooking and caring for dolls, the narrative emphasizes the joy and creativity involved in housekeeping, setting the tone for the more structured advice that follows later in the text.
