 Hyacinth Bucket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hyacinth's main characteristics include outstanding snobbery (particularly towards her neighbours), often-ludicrous attempts to pass herself off as a member (or affiliated friend of) the aristocracy, and a tendency to look down on others.
Hyacinth is almost pathologically dedicated to improving her social status, ingratiating herself (frequently in a completely shameless manner) with those she considers her social equals / betters, such as the local vicar, local notables, and aristocrats.
In an early episode, while visiting a stately home, Hyacinth goes to extraordinary lengths in an attempt to convince other visitors that she is a friend of the noble family living there, and throughout the series, Hyacinth is often seen masquerading as a member, or friend of a member, of the aristocracy.

Following in a somewhat British tradition of having book tie-ins which are not *about* the show so much as a *continuation* of the show, _Book of Etiquette_ is written as though the character of Hyacinth Bucket were sharing a diary with her audience.

This book is a must-have for any fan of the series "Keeping Up Appearances." The format: Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced "Bouquet", of course) has written this book to help we, the readers, improve our social skills and graces, hopefully avoiding the complications her friends and family have caused her!
