Book Summary : Harness in the Parlour is about a time when people nailed old quilts over a north window to keep out the wind, belived it would rain if the cat slept with is nose in the air, handed coffins out through the window because it was unlucky to use the door, and kept the "good" harness in the parlour rather than in the stable. Harness in the Parlour answers that question asked by every child, even the grown-up one : "But how people really live in the old days?"
