"The Affected Procincial's Companion"
Volume One
by Lord Breaulove Swells Whimsy
A fine tome, which excels at preaching to the converted, but this one is entertaining. It kept me laughing, at the world, then at myself. It is best consumed in short excursions as the overly ambitious baroque style of the writing becomes, at times a bit hard to penetrate. It is a manual cum treatise on what it means to be a dandy.
It paints a picture of dandy's place in the modern world, and finds plenty of time to draw out finer points of what it means to be an "ambassador of paradise," to pursue the finer things in life and be sure to dress appropriately and hold your head high.
