Given as a birthday pressie a while back...my favourite being 'my chocolate kingdom'
A feel good book to put a smile on your face and sunshine for the day

Congratulations to the winner of the sweepstakes!!!!

I had a good laugh when i read the back of the book. Thank s for the book!

This book has been in my possession for way too long. It's high time that it starts travelling again.

This book will be travelling with me to the Noordelijke Meeting in Molly's Snackbar in Harlingen.

As a person who doesn't really care for all things described in this book, I just HAD to take it home with me :-)

Thanks for releasing, Angelfrouk!

What is it about??

A compendium of beautiful thoughts for women of taste and splendor
More About Shoes, Chocs, Bags, and Frocks
Edward Monkton, perhaps better known as the U.K.'s top-selling living poet Giles Andreae, pairs a witty and quirky writing style with simple yet elegant illustrations to celebrate the four bastions of femininity, namely: shoes, chocolate, purses, and clothes.

Be it a handbag of glory, the shoes of salvation, the beautiful frock, or the kingdom of chocolate, Monkton fluidly expounds the virtues of many a lady's desires:

Buy me, Lady," said the frock,
"and I will make you into a
BEAUTIFUL and WHOLE and
COMPLETE Human Being."
"Do not be SILLY," said the Man,
"for a frock alone cannot do that."
"TRUE," said the Lady. "I will
have the Shoes and the Bag as well."

Dit not really intend to read this one so quickly, but by accident (or that's how I call it;-)) I leafed through it while registering.
I loved it, it made me smile, made me grinn and laugh, just what it is intended to do. The Chocolate Kindom is the part that I liked best. Killer heals, well fun to see other women struggle to walk in them, but certainly not for me!

On its way as a surprise, joke, funny present to the winner of Herchelle's 2x April RABCK.
Congratulations! & Enjoy! :-)

The first page made me laugh out loud! Thanks for sending this quirky book, along with all the Bookcrossing tags.

Well...not my kind of humour. To me, this little book is just lame, the first page being the only one that I found at all funny. This felt like a man's stereotypical view of what women like: weeping with religious ecstasy over a gorgeous handbag or pair of shoes. Annoying.

Left in the women's washroom during the Home and Garden Show.
