In this robust, insightful & hitherto only privately available handbook, Parisian wife & mother Hortense de Monplaisir shares with us the secrets of her survival amongst the English. Exiled to London for the sake of her husband`s career, pioneer Hortense delves into the many aspects of la perfide Albion that have long puzzled its closest neighbour & oldest enemy.
