Guide Review - Southern Belle Primer
A humorous (but surprisingly true) look at why we southern women act the way we act. This book looks at the history of some of the south's most perplexing traditions while guiding you on proper belle manners, dress, and expressions. There are many charts and drawings to help guide you into exbelleing at every situation.
Even if you don't consider yourself a "belle" this book is a must read for southern females! You may not realize how many belle traditions you (or your female relatives) actually take part in.
