Muir chronicles the oddities of everyday life across the centuries, weaving together anecdotes, observations, and satirical commentary to illuminate how society has eaten, dressed, entertained itself, and generally muddled through. The tone is consistently irreverent and warmly comic, reflecting Muir's celebrated wit and his gift for making the absurdities of history feel both immediate and laugh-out-loud funny. Rather than a dry academic survey, it serves as an entertaining compendium that illustrates the richness of social history through the lens of human folly and ingenuity. Readers with an appetite for clever, erudite humor and a love of cultural history will find it an endlessly diverting companion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887929209051,"sku":"2026200006286-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/10f36332-57b1-4e4a-9eea-155fb8d2ad46.png?v=1781749806","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006286-secondhand-the-frank-muir-book-an-irreverent-companion-to-social-history","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
