How To Be A Deb's Mum
Petronella Portobello’s 1957 gem, How To Be A Deb’s Mum, dishes out witty, first-hand guidance on steering a daughter through London’s debutante season. This hard-to-find autobiography blends social history, etiquette and sharp humour for readers who relish vintage British memoirs.
The hardback still wears its original dust jacket, now gently edge-worn and scuffed, and the front endpaper carries a warm period inscription plus a personalised note, making each copy unique. Inside, a handful of pages show light marks yet the text remains perfectly readable.
Perfect for collectors of mid-century women’s voices or anyone hunting a nostalgic parenting memoir, this edition brings post-war high-society London to life without sounding like a textbook.
