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.

She is an anthropologist and great story teller. And how all the research was done makes it so realistic and easy to remember. Thank you. Please keep writing about cultures.

What an enjoyable book. Like crocodile Dundee but with depth and knowledge!
