Pippa Middleton, the stylish younger sister to the Duchess of Cambridge, has written a book on "a comprehensive guide to home entertaining".

The book - Celebrate: A Year of Festivities for Families and Friends - is ready for an October release.

28-year-old Pippa has negotiated a six-figure deal with publishers Michael Joseph for the book, sparking criticism she is cashing in on her royal connections, Mirror.Com reported.

Pippa became an overnight sensation in Britain after being photographed wearing a figure-hugging bridesmaid during Prince William's wedding to Kate Middleton in April last year.

Speaking ahead of the release of her book, Pippa said: "This book is designed to be a comprehensive guide to home entertaining, based on my experience in my family's party business, Party Pieces, and work for London-based events company, Table Talk.

"It is a useful and practical journey into British-themed occasions and I hope it offers welcome inspiration and ideas, most of which needn't leave you alarmingly out of pocket."
