Comically insensitive and startlingly opinionated, Mrs Favell Lee Mortimer offers up a hilariously inappropriate account of Victorian prejudices.
Todd Pruzan is a senior editor at the business magazine Conde Nast Portfolio and has been an editor and writer at several other magazines. He was born in Washington, D.C., and lives in New York with his wife and daughter.
Politically incorrect doesn't begin to cover it. Dads of a certain
age will adore it.

*Good Book Guide*

dubious, to say the least.
*Sunday Telegraph*
... Mrs Mortimer's outrageous and gloriously politically incorrect
vignettes have been collected in one entertaining volume ...
