How to convalesce in style? Or the etiquette of staying in a haunted house?This humorous book was originally published in the 1930s as an amusing guide for married couples. Poking fun at wives and husbands in an even-handed manner, it is both witty and quaint, giving a glimpse of middle-class life of a bygone era, but also offering up some universal advice which still rings true today. For example, 'Choose bedside books for their soporific qualities', or, 'one whisky-and-soda on retiring... makes the average man forget the dullest dinner and sends him to bed in a glow of good will.'With sections on hot-water bottles, robes de nuit, breakfast in bed, the best kind of pillow, sneaking home late and night-time readers, this is the perfect, self-improving gift for your favourite bedfellow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From The Madding Crowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46128235118851,"sku":"9781851246199","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/3207\/4914\/files\/9781851246199.jpg?v=1731409385","url":"https:\/\/www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.com\/products\/9781851246199","provider":"Far From The Madding Crowd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
