The article discusses the book "Balkan Home Life," written by Lucy M.J. Garnett, which untangle the intricacies of the Balkans. The wealth of material which Garnett has here assembled might furnish a volume on each of the peoples she describes. Each nation is studied separately in its social, moral, and religious expression. A brief history, with a touch of early legend, introduces each group, whose characteristics are further emphasized by detailed description of housing, dress, habit, occupation, popular traits, leading beliefs and superstitions, with the customs pertaining to birth, marriage, divorce, and death.
