Seasonal Stress?
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times... this, for many, sums up the holidays. Tasty baking and pretty packages are delightful, but with all the wrapping, cooking, hosting, and visiting, December can be stressful. A few minutes of quiet
reflection can go a long way, so we're offering you the chance to win a collection of beautiful books that will help you escape the madness - for a little while at least.
We know what would really help, though: a full-time personal butler. We highly recommend Jeeves. P.G. Wodehouse's classic - and hilarious - books about this consummate man-servant will have you too busy
laughing to even think about stress.

 Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit
P.G. Wodehouse
Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit is one of many volumes P.G. Wodehouse wrote about the haplessly aristocratic Bertie Wooster and his unflappable, and utterly indispensable, butler. Gentle social
satire reigns, as Jeeves deftly extricates Bertie from one ill-fated caper after another. You may catch yourself secretly yearning for an impeccable butler of your own... not to mention a manor in the country.
