Originally published in England in 1913, these two humorous volumes of advice for husbands and wives, was written on the eve of the First World War. It remained in print for twenty years before fading into obscurity. Now in print again sixty years later, they have sold over half-a-million copies in the UK alone. Don'ts for husbands counsels men not to 'scoff' if their wives want to drive the car, while Don'ts for wives reminds women not to flirt with other men in case they succeed 'better than you want to. It is like playing with tigers and edged tools and volcanoes all in one.' Written in the style of a bygone era, Don'ts for wives and Don'ts for husbands are full of sage and pithy advice and remain surprisingly relevant.
