  At a formal dinner you must never take a second helping or you will find yourself dining alone. The Edwardian age (1901-1910), the last period of the English country house, was defined by its etiquette for those both upstairs and down. This 'golden era' of gentility had answers to everything. Discover the correct way to address tradesmen, how to produce a pomade against baldness, how to deal with gossip and ways to get a perfect shine to glass among many other indispensable gems in this Edwardian guide to life.
