Book Description

George Mikes says, 'the English have no soul; they have the understatement instead.' But they do have a sense of humour - they provide it by buying over three hundred thousand copies of a book that took them quietly and completely apart, a book that really took the Mikes out of them.

I remember that I was a student in England and I really got a laugh with my classmates when we were reading this book...

Complementary reading to "Watching the English", as Mikes is so often quoted (so much as Bill Bryson). A couple of hours' worth of laughter.
