Hyacinthe Phipps is a gentle instructress, January 9, 2009
This review is from: The Recently Deflowered Girl: The Right Thing to Say on Every Dubious Occasion
There is at least one point in her young life when a lady may find herself at a loss for words. As Ms. Phipps so eloquently demonstrates, deflowerment can come at the most unexpected of times, and any girl would be wise to prepare herself with these calm and well-reasoned responses. Mr. Gorey's tasteful illustrations provide a refreshing complement to the sturdy instruction contained in this modest little tome. A book easily gifted to your daughters, nieces and younger sisters emerging into blushing adolescence, and equally suitable for your college-aged friend who hasn't a clue how to comport herself.
