An elegant tome fit for all ladies, this miscellany provides necessary advise, wisdom and guidance on the essential art of being a lady. For those unfortunate enough not to be a lady by birth, authors Allison Vale and Alison Rattle offer the assembled wisdom of generations of women for the benefit of these poor lost souls. They suggest that after a perusal of the pages herein, and with the practice and dedication, anyone can conduct themselves with elegance and poise; a team at a Swiss finishing school is no longer key to becoming a real lady and attracting the eye of a gentleman.
