If you don't know, she was the wife of Richard Rodgers of Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals fame. This book is filled with decorating, entertaining and living-well tips from an expert. Reading it made me wish I could have met her and sat and talked with her, but this book is the next best thing.

It's a little dated, but it's chocked full of good information that isn't; it's timeless. Very easy to read, even if it doesn't appear so at first glance. If you get a chance to checkout this book ( it's out of print) , please do.

I found this book in a library when I was a bride 40 years ago. Loved it back then and started thinking about it lately again. Decided to try to locate it; a few clicks later, it was on its way to my house via Amazon. Rereading it in my 60s is just as entertaining as it was back then.

5.0 out of 5 stars high camp
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020
Very dated, a compendium of advice and anecdotes from a woman who lives a very rarified life with whom staff is a given. And if you don't have staff, she's helpful in describing how you can still entertain despite this handicap. The recipes are dated, the photos of the home are by today's standards stiff and bland and a little dreary. Makes for good reading aloud at parties. Much like the theater performances which featured "hip" actors reading the bios of folks like Suzanne Somers. It's best feature today is Mrs. Rogers obliviousness to the lives most of us outside the Hampstons and Fire Island Pines lead and presumably even the lives of her mid 1960's readers. But she gave them something to aspire to....and perhaps a visit to the New York Wold's Fair.
