Ethelind Fearon is not keen on the trappings of entertaining - the housework involved, the cooking, the principles of small talk, the unexpected problems that might emerge - but she's determined to conquer them, and her 'Reluctant' guides provide a possible answer for those similarly minded. This charming, amusing guidebook is filled with the author's distinctive sarcastic humour. This isn't just funny because of it's kitsch, nostalgic charm - it's funny in its own right, packed full of amusing insights and wisdom, and filled with very sweet illustrations. It also contains some of the most unappetising and unappealing recipes known to mankind - Liver Flan with curried cheese, anyone? A book to flick through and to delight in, uncovering gems as you go.
