Product Description
Review
"An enlightened new series, good natured, witty and useful. The Xenophobe's Guides to different nations deserves a real cheer."
--"The European"
"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 "
Synopsis
"When the communists rather foolishly tried to stop the Poles practising their religion, the churches filled to overflowing. 'Forbidden' is a term of encouragement to a Pole"; An affectionate, funny look at a courageous, mercurial people. Who else would start a revolution with a logo? The first nation to throw off the Soviet yoke, this new edition of The Xenophobe's Guide to The Poles reveals fascinating truths about the Polish people. Born in Poland, Ewa Lipniacka is a published children's story writer who lives in London and works as a researcher for a London Library authority.
