Description

The first book on how to be knightly, nightly.

Ever needed tips on how to sleep next to a snoring spouse 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 retiringmakes 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.
