There's nothing like a glamorous, high-heeled mother at the school gates to make the rest of us feel like overweight, ill-tempered, soup-stained slatterns. And yet those marvels of 1950s femininity seemed to manage to be effortlessly lovely at every turn.
This book guides you through the crazy golf course of fashion, beauty, home skills, child rearing, lino-laying, husband pleasing and general marital bliss.

Grab yourself a cocktail and a cheese straw and bury your nose in this glorious guide that will have you apologising to your mother for the rest of your life.
