Beautifully illustrated throughout, this charming guide will delight, inspire and seriously extend your ' To Be Read' list!
Reading this book was the literary equivalent of eating a fantastic meal consisting of a selection of comfort food and deliciously surprising new dishes, all hosted by an incredibly knowledgeable and friendly maitre d' . I left the table both replete and wanting more. Francesca Beauman writes with wit, warmth and a wise, compassionate intelligence that makes every page a joyous delight. I met old friends, discovered new ones and learned something in each chapter - and yes, I will be giving this book to everyone I know. -- Elizabeth Day
Francesca Beauman is the author of five books, including a history of the pineapple and a history of advertising for love. She runs the Instagram account Fran' s Book Shop, an irreverent, inclusive conversation about books. Fran lives in Bath, Somerset, with her husband and children.
