Welcome to Mademoiselle Geraldine’s Finishing Academy, an institution for the fine art of finishing... others. Here you'll find lessons in etiquette and espionage as taught in Gail Carriger's bestselling book series, Finishing School.
Oh, how the skies have changed! In my day, one could take one’s balloon transport for a float on a summer night and not worry about cannon fire or being kidnapped by men in full evening attire.
Do be careful up there, students. And remember, being captured by sky pirates is a poor excuse for missing finishing lessons.
For the young ladies out there with slightly evil inclinations, this season, consider gifting your adversaries any of these fine weapons as referenced in Gail Carriger’s Finishing School books.
A lady of quality can never be too charitable when it comes to finishing her enemy. After all, it is better to give than receive.
Whether you aspire to be an assassin for the Queen, spy for supernaturals, or simply conquer the Empire, Mademoiselle Geraldine’s Finishing Academy prepares graduates for a wide range of career possibilities.

When Prudence Alessandra Maccon Akeldama ("Rue" to her friends) is bequeathed an unexpected dirigible, she does what any sensible female under similar circumstances would do -- she christens it the Spotted Custard and floats off to India.
