Synopsis:
A witty cross between an etiquette book and a Boy Scout manual, RISING TO THE OCCASION covers everything from opening a bottle of champagne to unclogging a sink with step-by-step instructions and easy-to-follow diagrams. "Give this practical charmer to a young person in need of savoir faire, or keep it for yourself--all of us need a little help."--San Antonio Express-News. A LITERARY GUILD SELECTION. Now in its 7th printing.
About the Authors:
Wallace Pinfold is a French-language interpreter and translator. He has worked as a Peace Corps volunteer in West Africa, a ranger naturalist in Yosemite, and a road manager for country western and blues bands touring the Middle East. He is coauthor of Rising to the Occasion (Algonquin, 1993). He lives in Brunswick, Maine, and shaves every time the occasion warrants.
Edith Hazard has managed a law office, sung lead in a jug band, taught Sunday school, and earned her BA in English at Bowdoin—meanwhile raising her four children. She is the author, with Wallace Pinfold, of the popular Rising to the Occasion: A Practical Companion for the Occasionally Perplexed.
