Illus. with drawings by Hilary Knight. Jacket. NY: Harcourt, Brace & World, [1960]
"This book is for those of us who...have learned, through hard experience, that some activities become no less painful through repetition: childbearing, paying taxes, cooking. This book is for those of us who want to fold our big dishwasher hands around a dry Martini instead of a wet flounder, come the end of a long day." Best jacket copy ever, imho.
Rubbing to jacket extremities, else very good & bright. Such a great book; illustrated by Knight, who illustrated the Eloise books.
