Synopsis
Quick and accessible, this is a fun book to browse. It contains an enjoyable presentation of the national character, with major figures of history, literature and popular culture shown at their most captivating. It is suitable both for Brits looking to feel proud of their country's past and non-Brits looking for an entertaining introduction. It is divided into ten sections, to assist those in search of witticisms on a special subject. Appealing illustrations, both cartoons and photographs, add visual humour to the jokes and anecdotes. This book includes laugh-out-loud quotations on every topic, by the funniest people of every era.
