Series: Little Book of

An affectionate portrait of England with plenty of self-deprecating English humour and unknown stories.

A little book about a BIG subject. England's not huge in land mass, but there is a lot to say about this little country. Yes, we'll be touching on the obvious bits, Shakespeare, 1966, room-temperature beer, disappointing weather, but we'll also be going in search of what's under the surface of British history, society and culture. What is it that makes England, England? People all over the world think they know the answer to that - the Queen, awkward politeness, Beefeaters and losing on penalties in international football. But we English know that we're a bit more complicated than such stereotypes. Or are we? Let's find out.
