A little etiquette book for the whole family

The family is the first and most common environment where we meet other people, because, as Aristotle said, man is a zoon politikon, a social creature. It might seem that in a family setting, we don't need to pay too much attention to etiquette. The opposite is true. Where else should children learn courtesy, respect, and consideration? The Little Book of Etiquette for the Whole Family introduces us to the rules of behaviour when visiting, at family celebrations, at weddings and funerals, and also covers first dates, behaviour on holiday, or at Christmas. We will learn how to give gifts and flowers, and how to conduct ourselves at a reception, a ball, or a banquet. The book is not limited to just the family; it also covers social events so that we are prepared for all situations we may encounter in social life. The Little Book of Etiquette for the Whole Family is the third volume to be published in this series. The common model for the entire series is the great work ETIQUETTE – Modern Etiquette for Everyone, the largest comprehensive book on the subject of etiquette ever published in our country. The smaller books are specialised, allowing the reader to choose the topic that interests them. Following The Little Book of Etiquette for Everyday and The Little Book of Etiquette for Dress, this volume brings useful advice for behaviour within the family and at social occasions.
