Shoes, Chocs, Bags, and Frocks

The Wonderful World of Women

Buy Button

From fashion magazines to women's television, you don't have to look far to understand just how important shoes, shopping, and chocolate are to the female population. Nobody understands the mysterious grip that the perfect pair of leather boots and a stylish hat possess, but women everywhere recognize it. So, apparently, does Edward Monkton. In his giftbook, Shoes, Chocs, Bags, and Frocks (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $9.99), Monkton playfully shows how hot new handbags and heaping mountains of chocolate contribute to a woman's lasting happiness and confidence.

Using his unique wit and characteristic black-and-white, two-dimensional illustrations, Monkton offers clever observations on the eccentricities of womanhood. Covering everything from the holiness of handbags to the saving power of a good pair of shoes, Shoes, Chocs, Bags, and Frocks is a hyperbolic and humorous celebration of everything in life that is distinctly female.

Whether it's the call of the perfect dress or the inability to resist that delicious piece of chocolate, women are sure to appreciate the sentiments presented in Monkton's book. No matter her age, Shoes, Chocs, Bags, and Frocks is the perfect way to share a laugh with the wonderful woman in your life.
