Average Rating:
 Rating:  - My grandmother bought the originalI have long been amused by this book and am very glad to see it reprinted. I have my grandmother's original copy which she bought when she got married in 1914. When you think that she bought it as a serious guide to how women should behave in a marriage you realise that things really have got better since then. Robert Rating:  - Highly amusingHighly amusing little book - written in all seriousness in 1913 but very Cholmondley-Warner-esque in its outdated attitudes. This book is going to provide some gems for some light-hearted ribbing in my groom's speech when I get married shortly. Rating: - Good for verbal joustsA good read for Mr and for Mrs, sending admonishments flying back and forth. Written in a Victorian style (if the date is to be believed, it is early 20th. Century)the man is head of the household, and the lady must not be caught yawning as he finishes his last pipe! There is plenty to return in terms of what can be expected from the husband and, contrary to Harry Enfield sketches you might have seen, exhorting ladies to have opinions all of their own. Clearly an idea which will never catch on. All in all it's a grin, and a quick, light read which is perfect as a cheeky stocking filler for a recalcitrant wife. |
