Her style imparting information as clearly and simply as possible was hugely influential. The book sold 60000 copies in its first year but Isabella Beeton died four years later in 1865 aged just twenty-eight. The enduring popularity of Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management is testament to the quality of her advice.
