NOTES
Read by Frank Block
Step back into Edwardian England with this delightfully witty and enduring guide to marriage. Originally published in 1913, Don'ts for Husbands by Blanche Ebbutt offers a pocket-sized treasury of marital wisdom and domestic diplomacy. Whether quaintly outdated or surprisingly relevant, the advice within provides a fascinating glimpse into the social norms of the past-and more than a few nuggets of timeless truth. In this audiobook, you'll discover guidance on: - Being your wife's best friend, not just her husband - Knowing when not to have the last word - Why slouching and shirt-sleeves at breakfast might not impress - Balancing humor and household habits - What to never throw into the decorative water bowl Ebbutt's voice remains charmingly sharp, often humorous, and-at times-surprisingly progressive. Whether you're a newlywed, celebrating an anniversary, or curious about how marriage advice has evolved (or hasn't!), this book is a little time machine that will entertain, amuse, and occasionally enlighten. For a complete experience, consider pairing this audiobook with its companion, Don'ts for Wives by Blanche Ebbutt.Together, they offer a charming and humorous look at marital advice from the early 20th century.
