Cheltenham Literature Festival: Just Good Manners with William Hanson & Anne Glenconner

No one loves good manners quite like the British, yet these days no one can seem to agree on what the done thing is. William Hanson, world-leading etiquette expert and author of Just Good Manners, and Anne Glenconner, Lady in Waiting to Princess Margaret and author of forthcoming The Picnic Papers, discuss our distinctive way of doing things with Rebecca Jones. There will be a book signing after this event
