The Plain Man and His Wife, published in 1914 by the celebrated English author Arnold Bennett, is a witty and practical guide to everyday living rather than a conventional novel. Addressed to ordinary married couples, it offers humorous, sensible advice on managing money, health, friendship, marriage, recreation, and finding happiness within modest means. Bennett argues that even the humblest household can attain richness of experience through thoughtful habits and self-improvement. Written in his signature clear and engaging style, the book remains a delightful portrait of domestic life in Edwardian England and a timeless invitation to live deliberately, economically, and well.
