What would literary lions tell us about cooking, cleaning, and gardening? A three-book collection of parody and practical advice by a “brilliant” humorist (The Financial Times).
The Household Tips of Great Writers covers all your household needs, indoors and outdoors, from pruning a rose bush with Pablo Neruda to mending a dripping tap with Jean-Paul Sartre.
