Rules For My Son is a collection of traditional, humorous, and urbane fatherly advice for boys. From the sartorial (Men should not wear sandals. Ever) to the practical (Keep a copy of your letters. It makes it easier for your biographer) to even a couple of sure-fire hangover cures (There is no better remedy than a dip in the ocean), the book of rules, photos and accompanying quotations is the quintessential instruction manual for becoming a Good Man - industrious, thoughtful, charming, and of course, well-dressed. Hip and witty with a decidedly traditionalist flavour, Rules for My Son is meant to evoke simpler times when Father knew best and a suitable answer to 'Why?' was 'Because I said so'.
