More About the Author
Product Description
Review
In your dreams, you inhabit the places features in this book - a country manor house, a French chateau, a Georgian mansion, a picture-book cottage - and have all the china, glassware, silver and napery to match. But never mind. 'You don't have to have a home as grand as those pictured here,' the author assures us. The guiding principles of hospitality can be adapted to any home. Make guests feel relaxed and welcome, enjoy the preparation and anticipation, whether you are preparing a family Easter lunch party or an elegant dinner party, and use your imagination to create a sense of occasion with flowers and candles even if you can't run to bone china coffee cups or antique linen napkins.

I love browsing the pages and pictures in this book. The details are astounding and give great ideas for little flourishes that can add a lot to any party. The pictures of homes and English decorating are captivating as well. I recommend this book for anyone looking for unique ideas for formal parties or holiday gatherings.
