In Terribly English, cartoonist Rupert Besley runs a fond eye over all that is impenetrable about England, all that is weird and all that makes this country so very, um, English.
Catch up on customs, clothes, class and all things English; from tourist hot-spots to homely truths, national treasures to national foibles, from Ackenthwaite and Barfs in Cumbria to Bottoms and Splatt in Cornwall.
Packed with cartoons, Terribly English is the perfect gift for baffled visitors, banished natives, bookish Bed & Breakfasts or maybe just the bathroom.
Warning, contains jokes.
