Rules for my unborn son

Book • 2009
This book is an instruction manual for becoming a Good Man, offering advice on how to be industrious, thoughtful, charming, and well-dressed.

It includes a wide range of rules and accompanying quotations, from the sartorial ('If you are tempted to wear a cowboy hat, resist') to the practical ('Keep a copy of your letters.

It makes it easier for your biographer') and even hangover cures ('There is no better remedy than a dip in the ocean').

The book evokes simpler times when Father knew best and provides a witty and traditionalist guide for boys.
