From the "New York Times" bestselling author of "Audrey Style"
comes a charming guide to Audrey Hepburn?inspired living for the
modern woman
Audrey Hepburn epitomized grace and style, not only in her
appearance but in her very essence. Whether in fashion,
relationships, her work on the screen, or for UNICEF and her home
life, there is no one more worthy of imitation.
How did she do it? "What Would Audrey Do?" is the answer: a
complete Audrey primer, with rich anecdotes and insight from the
people who knew her best, and Audrey-inspired lessons in
loveliness, including:
- Dating advice from the woman who enjoyed romances with John F.
Kennedy, William Holden, and Albert Finney
- What made her an icon, and how to apply her style choices to
twenty-first-century clothes, makeup, and accessories
- Raising children, trying to raise husbands, and making home life
balanced in every way
- How to travel, what to pack, and maintaining your cool on the
road
- Using renown (long before Angelina and Bono got all the press)
to help others around the world
- Insight into her rich interior life and the discipline,
intelligence, and generosity that made her so compelling
In an era fraught with selfishness, flamboyance, and sensational
headlines, Audrey as a role model is precisely what the world
needs.

Jane Ellen Panton (1847 1923) was the second daughter of the artist
William Powell Frith, and a journalist and author on domestic
issues. First published in 1896, this was one of a series of advice
guides written by Panton on life and work in the middle-class home.
In it she offers ideas to those with 'middle sized incomes' for
overcoming the pitfalls of suburban life, such as selecting the
optimal location, avoiding noise and disputes between neighbours,
decorating and furnishing the home, and employing various domestic
techniques in order to achieve the 'perfect house and
housekeeping'. Drawing on twelve years' experience of suburban
living, the author makes suggestions for each part of the house,
and the concluding chapter addresses the question of whether to
employ a servant. Providing a revealing snapshot of life in late
nineteenth-century England, this book will be of great interest to
historians and sociologists.

Two well-known writers here join forces to describe the special and
traditional Catholic feast day dishes of many lands. Whereas the
the variety in Christmas, New Year, and Easter observances is
known, less familiar are the special foods for "Mothering Sunday,"
"Maundy Thursday," "Lamas Day." Few know that the origin of the
veal cutlet is attributed to St. Ambrose, who thus prepared the
meat he gave to the poor; that the favorite sweetmeat of St.
Francis of Assisi was Frangipane; or that in Italy a cake called
"Sphinx" is traditionally served on St. Joseph's Day. We learn the
forgotten origin of many well-known dishes, and the family is
provided with numerous recipes to restore these wonderful
traditional customs. With a table of movable feasts.
