About this listen

How do you get rid of unwanted guests? What do you do if there's a racket in the quiet carriage? How should you eat peas, and behave in queues?

How to behave, like how to punctuate, is an aspect of life that many are no longer taught. Thankfully, Sandi Toksvig has come to the rescue with her entertaining guide to modern manners, with characteristic wit and perceptiveness.

Critic reviews

"This little book will change your life - and that of your loved (and unloved) ones. For the better. And make you laugh." (John Humphrys)

An essential guide to life and in particular manners, all in a really amusing way. it also just wouldn't be the same if it were read by anyone else. Really good to listen to if your concentration isn't brilliant :)

Hilarious guide to life!

It did take me a little while to take to this book, but ended up loving it.

Charmingly entertaining

How much I learned not only about manners but about life. Not to mention Sandi's superb humour. Even if you are the most well mannered person, consider a listen. You may learn an extra something about consideration and if not, empathy.

An education for all in humour and manners

Another wonderful audio book with the soothing voice of he author telling it. Witty, funny, knowledgeable and inspiring, Sandi Toksvig teaches us things that are very important we didn't know we needed to know. Accents, pronunciations all perfect as we are now known to expect from Ms. Toksvig. FABULOUS.
