Comments & Further Information

First Canvas edition with a full 1 to 10 number sequence indicating a first printing. Canvas is an imprint of Constable and Robinson. Originally published in the USA by St Martin’s Press. The School for Manners Book 5. “When Amy and Effy Tribble, two charming but impoverished spinster sisters, lose out on an inheritance, they place an advertisement in the Morning Post and hire themselves out as professional chaperones. Maria Kendall is beautiful, delightfully mannered, graceful and extremely well-dowered and the Tribble sisters think that they will have no problem in securing her a duke. They have not, however, reckoned on her boorish and vulgar parents and realise very soon that their greatest challenge yet will not be in taking on Maria but the hopelessly common Kendalls as well!” IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH
