Product Description

Review
"Each book is an entertaining essay on the failings, foibles and good points of their subjects. Their humour is relaxed and gentle and it would be a sour, churlish native of a subject country who would object seriously."
--"The Northern Times"
"The Xenophobe's Guides raise a smile and give you an understanding of the beliefs and foibles of nationalities."
--"Glasgow Evening Times "


Synopsis
The character, values and foibles of the English.

4.0 out of 5 stars An amusing look at the English way of life, 18 May 1999
By A Customer
This book, which is part of a whole series of Xenophobes' guides is an enjoyable - if, as is to be expected - it's rather generalised.

The book is amusing, and surprisingly spot-on. Covering areas such as class, making tea, sport, distrust of foreigners, etc this book explains the English very well.

Anyone who wants to understand the English better would do very well to read this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, 12 Feb 2005
By A Customer
Very funny, and surprisingly accurate portrayal of the English and their behaviour. Covering aspects such as our love of the 'nice cup of tea' through to our insistence on always being 'sorry'. Well worth a read.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good read, 2 Jul 2009
By Frank Connolly "FC" (Cambridgeshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An interesting and observant insight.
Easy to read - I've passed my copy on to a German friend - along with the companion volume about the Germans!
