Publisher Description

George Mikes says, 'the English have no soul; they have the understatement instead.' But they do have a sense of humour - they provide it by buying over three hundred thousand copies of a book that took them quietly and completely apart, a book that really took the Mikes out of them.

paulmillz ,

A classic!

Although dated, this book pokes fun at the English from the viewpoint of “a foreigner.”
