If you or your spawn are looking for guidance about the right way to leave the family home, find ‘digs', make friends, influence people, express yourself artistically, eat, drink, procreate, get ahead, and finally, die and be buried, then this darling compendium is the book for you. It is the latest offering from world-famous knowist Mrs Grace Lax, OBE. Mrs. Lax, 107 if she is a day, has never let being entirely fictional get in her way (she may in fact be a widely published and mischievous Melbourne academic who wishes to remain anonymous). ‘You don't need a pulse,' she laughs, jangling her pearls, ‘to have your finger on it.'
