Shoes, Chocs, Bags, and Frocks

By Edward Monkton

A compendium of beautiful thoughts for women of taste and splendor
More About Shoes, Chocs, Bags, and Frocks
Edward Monkton, perhaps better known as the U.K.'s top-selling living poet Giles Andreae, pairs a witty and quirky writing style with simple yet elegant illustrations to celebrate the four bastions of femininity, namely: shoes, chocolate, purses, and clothes.

Be it a handbag of glory, the shoes of salvation, the beautiful frock, or the kingdom of chocolate, Monkton fluidly expounds the virtues of many a lady's desires:

Buy me, Lady," said the frock,
"and I will make you into a
BEAUTIFUL and WHOLE and
COMPLETE Human Being."
"Do not be SILLY," said the Man,
"for a frock alone cannot do that."
"TRUE," said the Lady. "I will
have the Shoes and the Bag as well."

Utterly Charming

Witty and knowing, with the simple illustrations and language of a child's book and the psychological insight of an adult's. And it's funny.
