Jane Austen's Guide to Good Manners: Compliments, Charades & Horrible Blunders

Jane Austen's Guide to Good Manners is a delightful handbook of correct social behavior, written as if intended for her original Regency Era readers.

This beautiful book is filled with lovely chapters teaching one on how to pay and return formal "calls," how to properly refuse a proposal of marriage, who should lead off the dancing at a country-house ball, and what to wear for a morning walk.

With this indispensable gift, readers will learn just why Mrs.

Bennet of Pride and Prejudice couldn't call alone on her new, rich, bachelor neighbor and had to force the reluctant Mr.

Bennet to do so...even as he uttered "Tis an etiquette I despise." Perfect for any Austen fan or those wishing to go back in time to the atmosphere of their favorite Austen novels, this book is a must-have for anyone looking to learn more about the etiquette and social behavior of the early 1800s.
