'The Reluctant Hostess', 1954, by Ethelind Fearon.
‘We will suppose then, that there is a group of people to whom you owe kindly words, a few drinks and some decorative, but not necessarily nourishing, food. People don’t go to parties to be nourished.’ So with this mind-set before the hostess we come to the author’s recipes for various hors d'oeuvre—I say nothing more !!
Ethelind Fearon 1898-1974, British author on a variety of subjects, specialising in self-help books infused with a sharp sense of humour; although still relatively well-known in literary circles there is little biographical information available.
Alexander William Jardine 1913-1987, British painter and illustrator.
‘The Reluctant Hostess’, 1st ed, 1954, this 5th reprint ed. 1964. publ. Herbert Jenkins Ltd, London, by Ethelind Fearon, illus. by Alex Jardine.
