A dazzling window into Edwardian England, where wit, wit, and more wit ricochet through drawing rooms and clubs. The Champagne Standard invites you to the tables of London society, where social commentary essays and early 20th century humor illuminate a world of etiquette, gossip, and grace. This collection blends women's society sketches with champagne culture anecdotes, offering a vivid portrait of high society etiquette, salons and gossip, and the delicate art of conversation. Its lightness hides sharp observation: a British social satire that reads as both entertaining and illuminating.

A note on literary and historical significance: the book captures a crucial moment in Edwardian era literature, documenting the mores and rituals that shaped daily life for the upper classes. It holds a lasting appeal for casual readers curious about the era and for classic-literature collectors seeking authenticity, charm, and context in one elegant volume. Selling points: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Perfect for book club picks, gift for bibliophiles, and anyone exploring edwardian england through a sharp, affectionate lens.
