Porter, Adrian. The Perfect Debutante. First Edition. 1937. Softcover in good plus condition— minor foxing to pages and moderate wear to the covers. Illustrated by Eileen McGrath.
This ode to the 1930s debutante is a tour of the London Season. It explores the lighter side of not only the deb, but also her rich elder aunts with desirable country homes and her dressmakers (ideally Worth or Molyneux, but Peter Jones if low on money). There are also sections on presentation at court, Ascot, and much more. The book is written in verse with frequent by b & w line drawings (such as the one on the cover).
