Table manners are not a natural attribute and need to be acquired. Like all training, it is best to do by example as a child is more likely to copy the behaviour of adults rather than by listening to them. Written by Dr. David Woodfine, the retired High Steward to Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford, and a former butler and host to royals and celebrities, this book shares a few helpful pointers with illustrations to remind adults (and perhaps teach you something new) and to educate children on the ABCs of dining etiquette.
