How To Be British Collection Two, The (Spiral Bound)

Description: The willingness of the Brit to forgo the football, the day trip, or even the long lie-in, for the pleasures of putting on a pair of paint-splattered trousers and covering the sofa in dust sheets is something very puzzling to foreign observers.

Unsure whether our national character still exists? Reassurance is at hand. Following the remarkable success of the first How To Be British Collection, this second book turns the spotlight on yet more of our cultural curiosities – from kings and queens to kilts and custard.

With its celebration of our endearing and enduring oddities, The How To Be British Collection Two will amuse and delight Brit-watchers everywhere.

The Authors

Martyn Ford, writer and illustrator, hails from Sutton Coldfield in the West Midlands, while Peter Legon, writer and publisher, was brought up in Liverpool and Leeds.

Both trained as EFL teachers and in the 1980s and 90s were colleagues at the same Brighton language school.

Experiments in English Language comedy theatre led to the creation of Brighton's Leading Landlady, Mrs. Hoover, and in 1994 to the first Lee Gone publication Mrs. Joyce Hoover's How To Be British. Two years later, the first range of How To Be British postcards took their brand of humour to a wider audience.
