Description

Letters of advice to an 18-year-old goddaughter. Very much of its time and somewhat eccentric, including lengthy discourse on the merits/temptations of the tango. All in clean and bright internal order bar spotting to edge of block which only occasionally intrudes onto pages. Colour frontispiece illustration, presumably of 'Caroline', looking rather fed-up with the whole business. Yellow cloth, a little dulled to edges, with black titling to front and white/gilt titlepiece to spine. Would make an entertainingly provocative gift to any young Carolines that you know. 12mo. 154pp
