A book which invites all possible praise and then transcends it by its own inimitable quality. Week-enders, young or old, guest or host, married or single, discreet or adventurous, there is but one thing for you all to do, and that at once. Buy THE WEEK-END BOOK' - Arthur Waugh, Daily Telegraph 'A great success. I am delighted with my copy' - The Granta 'He who takes it on a railway journey will commiserate the unhappy people who rely on detective fiction' - The Observer 'Everybody is talking about it. Everybody is buying it... I wonder how I ever spent a week-end without it... It will go with us wherever the Oxford Book of English Verse goes. The authors have thought of everything' - Daily Telegraph 'I say! have you seen THE WEEK-END BOOK?' - Guardian 'The most valuable section of all is that devoted to Songs; and it is the most gorgeously selected... It is a marvellously good anthology... I have not doubt that the book will become a classic, and that every holiday-maker with his wits about him will possess a copy' - The Spectator 'A collection made with a fine and certain taste' - The Teacher's World 'The jolliest all-round companion that has appeared in print for many years' - Evening News 'A delightful medley' - Morning Post 'Is there anything else you can want in a week-end, even a wet one? Go and get the book - and your ticket' - Evening Standard
A delightful little book for 'week-enders young or old, guest or host, married or single, discreet or adventurous'. THE WEEK-END BOOK is an invaluable book for week-enders of all ages. Containing a wealth of advice from what to eat on country jaunts ('Use tinned goods, but disguise them. No-one should ever suspect that they are tinned'; 'N.B. - mice cooked in honey should be imported from China, not prepared at home'), to tips on bird-spotting and types of bird ('The blackbird possesses a quite different emotional quality from the robin, being full of fears, suspicions and nervous reactions'). From suggestions for games to play (e.g. Human Polo where 'The biggest men are the ponies, and the girls or lighter weights mount them pick-a-back'), to essential first aid ('Before party drinking swallow a half to one ounce of Olive Oil or drink a glass of milk'). Other sections include: how to forecast the weather (useful when embarking on camping weekends), notes on the stars at night, types of architecture encountered in the country, information on farming techniques and the breeds of farm animals, a calendar of wild flowers, and varieties of trees and how to spot them. Entertaining, informative and completely invaluable, no one should embark on a weekend without it.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
