Best known as the inspiration for Dame Edna Everage, Marjorie Bligh is an eccentric and unstoppable tour de force in Australian homemaking.

Want to prevent blistered heels when going without stockings? Rub your damp heels with a cake of laundry soap.

In Housewife Superstar, Danielle Wood introduced us to the life (three husbands, Campbell Town and Devonport dream homes, inspiration for Dame Edna Everage) and work (countless writings, prizes, cakes, and things knitted, crocheted, sewed) of Mrs Marjorie Bligh: domestic goddess, original recessionista and all-round force of nature.

The follow-up, Home, collects the finest Marjorie moments in hints, advice, recipes, poems, gardening and travel, all reproduced as facsimile pages from her many famed self-published books-and with new photographs, celebrity appearances and a special foreword by the great lady, now ninety-five, herself.

Joining Marjorie Bligh’s foreword to Home are guest appearances by:

Margaret Fulton

Kaz Cooke

Bob Brown

Brian Thomson

Merle Parrish

Michael Hodgman

Rachael Treasure

Abby Fraser

If you have yet to discover the wonder that is Marjorie Bligh, waste no more time-for, as she says, time is “the greatest gift you have’.
