"A witty, irreverent crash course '101' that all Anglophiles will love. Leslie Banker and William Mullins have bridged the great divide between two countries separated by a common language. A bloody good read!"Anita Naughton, author of Tea and Sympathy " Britannia in Brief is an indispensable guide. Better than Fromer' s, shorter than the Encyclopedia Britannica , it is hilarious, clever, and spot-on. This book is perfect for every foreigner who wishes to talk local, and for every local who doesn't get out enough."Amanda Foreman, author of The Duchess, "A witty, irreverent crash course '101' that all Anglophiles will love.

When it comes to Britain, most Americans don't know (Union) Jack. Fortunately, now an Anglo-American husband-and-wife team are here to help with a smart, funny, and handy guide that minds the gap between fact and fiction. From Whigs and Windsors to wankers and Wales, this spit-spot-on reference covers all manner of British history, society, culture, language, and everyday life, including - the class system, title envy, and a thumbnail sketch of British dynasties - highlights of the social season (yes, they have a social season) - Parliament, prime ministers, and a wild variety of political parties - British sports 101, including football (by which we mean soccer), cricket, rugby, snooker, and darts - answers to the pressing question: What's on the telly? - British culinary delights, from Marmite to late-night tikka masala - odd pronunciations (e.g., how "St. John" becomes "Sin Jun") - cockney slang, or why you should never get caught "telling porkies on the dog" - Londoners' pride in the Tube and the truth about trainspotting So whether you're traveling to England on business or for pleasure, dating a Brit, hoping to comfort a homesick Londoner (whip up a treacle tart, recipe included), or simply curious about life across the pond, Britannia in Brief is the perfect companion., When it comes to Britain, most Americans don't know (Union) Jack.

They have great sales, a really good selection, bks usually better than described. 1 bk of 15 not as advertised=refunded immediately. *Only caveat: to keep prices low they ship in white plastic mailing envelopes, w/o padding. if you're a "collector" that might not work for you."* ,1 bk of 15 damaged by USPS. MTWYOUTH still issued a refund; it wasn't their fault...*
- a***l (187)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoFirst copy of this book entitled "Inferno" ordered from this Seller was never received by me. However after some back and forth messaging,via Ebay with Seller regarding this missing book Seller virtuously provided me a refund. Thereafter, I went back to this Seller's store ,where while browsing other history titles, fortuitously found Seller had another copy of the missing entitled book " Inferno" which I promptly ordered. Book was accurately described and well packaged. Very Satisfied.
