Summary:
"From an Emmy Award-winning writer, witty and hilarious advice to classic literary characters-from Lady Macbeth to Victor Frankenstein-on how to cope with their most arduous, "real-life" struggles. What would happen if your favorite literary characters wrote in to ask for help from an advice columnist? What suggestions would Hester Prynne need to cope with the judgemental neighbors? What if Mrs. Bennett from Pride and Prejudice asked for tips about managing her financial woes? Emmy Award-winning writer Jay Bushman imaginatively considers those scenarios and dozens more as Aunt Antigone, the "agony aunt" who dishes practical advice, along with a fair dose of snark"-- Provided by publisher.
