One of the most popular features with readers of Country Life is the Mrs Danvers column. Readers write to ask her about problems on everything from what to do with leftover beef to repairing glass. With its practical and often unusual questions and answers, the column provides readers with entertaining and always useful information. Now, all of this information as been gathered into a book that will prove an essential reference work for all homeowners. Topics discussed include: how do you prevent salt from becoming damp?; how do you get rid of spiders from the attic? (put conkers in the room as spiders hate anything to do with chestnuts); how do you re-enamel a bath?; how do you look after terracotta floors?; how can you make inexpensive but good quality linen table napkins? Fun to read and practical to use, Red Wine on the Carpet provides the answers to all those questions you've always wanted to ask. AUTHOR: Mrs Danvers works for a family that owns a large estate and Palladian house in East Anglia. She is responsible for a group of holiday cottages, a wedding venue, opening the house to the public and general maintenance of the silver, antique furniture and fabrics.
