In The Butler's Dinner Stories , Nikolaus Christmann draws on his intimate and professional knowledge as a participant in thousands of dinners, in hundreds of homes in New York. Guests included royalty, nobility, captains of industry, politicians, socialites and artists from many fields. The book covers a broad range of dinner related topics, including centerpieces and the importance of conversation. These anecdotes were selected as examples of thoughtful etiquette and for the insights they convey. Each story has a message to inspire and amuse the reader describing a single aspect of entertaining at home, and ends with an observation by the author. This is the first book by Nikolaus Christmann, The Consulting Butler.
