Have you ever wanted to know why it is considered better manners to break bread? Why gentleman always walk on the outside of the pavement? This book attempts to answer all the questions the reader has on the customs and practices of 20th century Britain. Definitely not designed as a rigid guide to etiquette, this book is more a presented revelation of customs and manners. It includes quotes from Jane Austen, Oscar Wilde and Charles Dickens and attempts to provide an insight into the origins, background and real meaning of being a true gentleman, a real lady, a perfect host, and an ideal guest, all of which dovetail with the image of the Ritz. From the author of "London Ritz Book of Christmas" and "London Ritz Book of Drinks".
