Article number 10155736

Classic humorous guide to English life and British behaviour written by George Mikes from the perspective of a Central European outsider. Through witty observations, irony and satire, the book explores English customs, social etiquette, class differences, tea culture, weather obsessions, language habits and everyday misunderstandings between foreigners and the British. Enhanced by the characteristic illustrations of Nicolas Bentley, the work became one of the best-known humorous portraits of post-war England and British identity.
