Product Description
"A Shop's Fables" is an irreverent, hysterical, allegorical look at the fifty billion dollar wedding industry. Written by a twenty-year veteran and survivor of brides, mothers-of-the-bride and debutantes, this collection of short stories, a la Aesop, is peppered with illustrations of foxes in bridal gowns, lions in black tie and words of wisdom gleaned from such fashion authorities as Jane Austen, Bill Blass, Erma Bombeck and Benjamin Franklin. Pregnant brides, overbearing mothers, insufferable bridesmaids, sulking flower girls and dowdy debutantes romp through these tales of a bridal shop...a 'Cheers' kind of place, where everybody knows your name and philosophy is dispensed free of charge alongside expensive concoctions of satin and lace. Think Dave Barry as proprietor of a bridal boutique.
