If you've ever watched Keeping Up Appearances and loved watching all of Hyacinth Bucket's antics, you'll love reading her diary. This diary takes place after the ending of the show, so it's all new stuff. It's hilarious reading, and you are constantly smiling as you read of her trying to get into the Royal Enclosure at Ascot, buying a painting she thought was done by the Prince of Wales but was really a nude of her sister Rose, and her impressions of her neighbors and acquaintances. Great fun!
This is a very funny book "written" by Hyacinth Bucket, informing her "readers" of various etiquette tips that will help them improve their social lot.

If you enjoy "Keeping Up Appearances", you'll enjoy this book, as it's basically a rehash of the series in print form. It's a very entertaining little book which can be read in about two sittings. Pictures illustrate a wonderful cast of characters. This is a read that's sure to keep you grinning from ear to ear as you turn its pages.
