Icon Books is to release a new tongue-in-cheek guide to parenting from the people behind popular Twitter account, @Pippatips.
The Twitter account, which has more than 40,000 followers, parodies the advice given by Pippa Middleton in her book on party planning, Celebrate (Michael Joseph).
The new book, What to Expect When One is Expecting: A Posh Person’s Guide to Pregnancy and Parenting, will come out in June 2013, to coincide with the due date of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s first child.
Kate Hewson, the recently appointed commissioning editor at Icon Books, bought world rights to the title from Jamie Coleman at Toby Eady Associates.
Hewson said: “I’m thrilled to bring What to Expect When One is Expecting to Icon as my first commission. As we all know, this is the Official Summer of Extremely Posh Babies, and with more of the hilariously banal advice and witty guidance that followers of @Pippatips love so much, this book is the perfect foil to all the hype.”
The book will be released in print and as an e-book on 6th June.
