This collection includes quotations, anecdotes, cautionary tales, and advice gleaned from Twain's published and unpublished works. Included are tips on etiquette, modes of dress, child rearing, dealing with unwanted salesmen, health, and food. His advice on proper behavior at funerals made me laugh out loud, as did his description of the overblown dress worn by a woman at a social event. The tale of the overly protective, worried mother is probably the best of the bunch. It's a delightful little book for fans of Mark Twain.
