The Mail on Sunday
'Funny and unapologetic, here is a timely reminder that there is nothing divisive or old-fashioned about good manners.'
Robert Hardman, author of Charles III: The Inside Story
PRAISE FOR WILLIAM HANSON
:
'William Hanson is doing for etiquette what Hyacinth Bucket did for candlelight suppers. This book sparkles like the cut glass of a crystal decanter. This isn't just a set of rules on how to act posh, this is a guide to treating one another with respect. Now more than ever, who wouldn’t want to learn about that?'
Tom Allen, comedian
'William is an etiquette genius with a stunning eye for detail - he's the only person who knows more about buffet suppers than I do.'
Camilla Long
'The Bluffer's Guide to Entertaining underscores William Hanson's steady and stylish advice on hosting. His dry and incisive humour turns this reference into a joy. If nothing else, guests should enjoy themselves: this book ensures the party giver has fun too.'
Alastair Bruce, Downton Abbey's Historical Advisor
'A well-researched and fascinating book that is also great fun. A must for anyone who aspires to polish up their manners.'
Anne Glenconner, author of Lady in Waiting
'Incredibly interesting and very funny.'
The Times
'It’s only polite to say I loved this witty, wonderful book. Good thing I really did!'
Gary Janetti, New York Times bestselling author of Do You Mind If I Cancel?
'William Hanson is Emily Post for the TikTok generation.'
Vanity Fair
'William Hanson is special forces in the world of politeness and has a staggering ability to make one feel the centre of attention and utterly inadequate at the same time.'
Financial Times
'With his tongue firmly in his teacup, William Hanson, the doyen of etiquette, guides us through life's social minefield.'
Steven Moore, Antiques Roadshow
