Joking apart
Mrs. Dowdall
The marriage of Henry, the second sister's husband, the mysterious munchers: Mrs. Dowdall's chapter titles promise mischief and deliver it. Her essays poke affectionate fun at family life, husbands, relations and the small absurdities of keeping a household together. Domestic comedy from an Edwardian wit who spared nobody, least of all herself. Laughter, served at home.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
