The Book of Good Manners

Rating:
Summary: Not just for kids
Review: A selection from the letters of Lord Chesterfield to his son. Lots of good advice that is as applicable today as it was then. This book is formatted for children, though I imagine that Chesterfield's writing style is a bit too sophisticated for today's children with low reading skills. A thoughful parent could make good use of this book, and not only for the benefit of his child.

Summary: Fabulous Book
Review: This book is a wonderful guide to people of all sorts. I would recommend it to every parent for their child, and every child or teenager for their own betterment.

Even if you choose not to take all of the advice, there are many things in this book that you hear and simply nod at the rightness of it. The kind of simple wisdom that we sometimes need to be taught to know it.

It is a book of much depth, ranging in the absurdly obvious advice, to some quite profound advice on how to live a good life.

And excellent gift for a young person in your life, or even an older one :-)
