Product Description

211 Things a Bright Girl Can Do is the essential life-skills handbook for bright girls of every age, featuring all the subjects they don’t teach you at school or Guides.

Girls, if you reached adulthood without learning how to do a handbrake turn, estimating the size of a gentleman’s tackle, or how to do your own Brazilian, this is the book for you. Divided into handy sections, this fascinating volume contains easy-to-follow tutorials and priceless tips, including:

• How to Be Completely Gorgeous – big knickers or small?, how to pluck your eyebrows, choosing the right size bra, and the Imelda Marcos guide to shoes;

• The Compleat Homemaker – how to make Turkish delight, how to get a man to do the housework, and how to make tea for a builder;

• Jolly Hockeysticks! – how to groom a horse, decorating a Christmas tree, how to read the tealeaves, and how to force a cucumber;

• How to be Bad – complete whipcraft, how to do a striptease and everything else your mistresses didn't teach you at school, but you wished they had.

Plus much, much more.

This volume won’t improve your morals or make you smell nice, but it will entertain and inform. So if you’ve always wanted to know how to lose six pounds in six hours, how to travel in a sidecar and how to turn down a rotten marriage proposal, this is the book you’ve been waiting for.

My brother bought me this because he enjoyed "211 Things A Bright Boy Can Do". I thought the cover was intriguing but I had no idea how funny it was inside. How to strangle a man with your bare thighs, parallel parking for girls, how to make turkish delight. There's everything in this book!! But it's written so amusingly that you just burst out laughing when you least expect it. Even my dad laughed. Just adore it and I'm still dipping in! All the girls in my family are getting this for Christmas and so is my mum. I love it!!!

A delicious package 31 Oct 2007
Format:Hardcover
This book is not only the funniest thing I've read for ages, it is absolutely beautiful. It is done to look like one of those old books you stumble on in second hand bookshops, with a knocked-about look to the covers and bumped corners. The end papers are done in a very evocative pink gingham check and the illustrations inside are an absolute treat. They look like something out of a Miss Marple mystery except they are illustrating subjects such as how to re-point a wall and how to strangle a man with your bare thighs. The writing is extremely funny (deadpan and extremely witty) but with pearls of wisdom scattered about. I cannot speak highly enough of this book, I love it. Utterly original and hilarious.
