Dont's For Husbands By Blanche Ebbutt
Dont's For Husbands By Blanche Ebbutt
Today there are enough tomes about men being from Mars and weird rules of dating... so it is expected that Blanche Ebbutt's oeuvre will provide more comedy value than useful advice. And yet, and yet... there are eternal verities there... There are plenty of gloriously retro bits about women censoring their men's socks and husbands learning to "lead" rather than "drive" their wives; but who could argue when Ebbutt says that there is an art in being married, and that you should not "exhaust your artistic power in getting married" but put some effort into staying that way... What
is required, Ebbutt hints from the grave, is simple niceness: be as considerate towards a life partner as towards a friend... So, go on: clear up those pencil sharpenings, chaps. And women, tell Him Indoors that his hair looks nice. Can't hurt, can it?' (Libby Purves - The Times, 29.05.07)

Pengwern is a small general bookshop with no specific specialisation. Rather we endeavour to represent greater depth in the areas we do cover, with good coverage of older titles as well as offering works not necessarily in the mainstream. On top of the stock in store we offer an excellent ordering service, second hand/out of print search and CD/DVD and video search and supply. Particular areas of expertise lie in children’s books - across the age range, popular science, environmental issues, politics and business books. However, we not only know what we have in stock but also know where to find out what we need to know!
