WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY GRAYSON PERRY


The unofficial guidebook to the English national character by anthropologist Kate Fox.


From the class system to conversation etiquette, Kate Fox picks apart and exposes the bizarre codes of behaviour that the English unconsciously obey.


If you are English, this book will make you re-examine everything you take for granted. And if you aren’t English, it will help you navigate the rules of this peculiar culture.
