A delicious package

This book is not only the funniest thing I've read for ages, it is absolutely beautiful. It is done to look like one of those old books you stumble on in second hand bookshops, with a knocked-about look to the covers and bumped corners. The end papers are done in a very evocative pink gingham check and the illustrations inside are an absolute treat. They look like something out of a Miss Marple mystery except they are illustrating subjects such as how to re-point a wall and how to strangle a man with your bare thighs. The writing is extremely funny (deadpan and extremely witty) but with pearls of wisdom scattered about. I cannot speak highly enough of this book, I love it. Utterly original and hilarious.

My brother bought me this because he enjoyed "211 Things A Bright Boy Can Do". I thought the cover was intriguing but I had no idea how funny it was inside. How to strangle a man with your bare thighs, parallel parking for girls, how to make turkish delight. There's everything in this book!! But it's written so amusingly that you just burst out laughing when you least expect it. Even my dad laughed. Just adore it and I'm still dipping in! All the girls in my family are getting this for Christmas and so is my mum. I love it!!!
