This fun but informative book is a short guide to British Culture. It is not an encyclopaedia of all things British but instead is a guide to certain aspects of British Culture. It is designed to be a fun-read, and also makes for a nice gift to any 'Anglophiles' out there or to people visiting Britain for the first time wanting to know a few titbits of information on this little group of Islands which seem to perplex many and charm many more with unusual and sometimes misunderstood traditions. As well as explaining some thoroughly insular elements of British Culture, this guide also references certain aspects of British Culture sometimes unknown or overlooked which have had far reaching influences globally.The author has written several books in the History and Politics genres and this is his first work of a slightly humorous nature.
