The synopsis for this etiquette book reads: “Mary Killen, etiquette expert, mixes wit and polemic to make the case for civilised conduct - based on the ultimate role model, HM the Queen.
“In the year of her diamond jubilee, Mary argues that the Queen represents the best of British behaviour - which is why she is held in such high esteem around the world.
“Now you can use examples from her own life to navigate life’s social complexities with ease and good grace.”
Included in the book are sections such as ‘How to manage difficult pets,’ ‘How to deal with bores,’ ‘How to address an insult,’ and ‘How to dress properly’.
