The How To Be British Collection Package

Comes as a package of How To Be British I and II.

The books poke gentle fun at such treasured cultural institutions as afternoon tea, cricket, pubs and Do-It-Yourself, as well as putting under the magnifying glass some familiar ideas about national character: respect for privacy (ours, that is), politeness, sobriety, and love of tradition. And there is well-intentioned advice for the overseas visitor on the perils and pleasures of getting around in English.

Since April 2003, the How To Be British Collection books have sold around 100,000 copies.
