About this product
Product Information
So proclaims George Mikes' timeless exploration of this curious phenomenon. Whether it's understatement, self-deprecation or plain cruelty - the three elements he identifies as essential to our sense of humour - being witty is a way of life here. If you want to succeed here you must be able to handle the English sense of humour. So proclaims George Mikes' timeless exploration of this curious phenomenon. Whether it's understatement, self-deprecation or plain cruelty, the three elements he identifies as essential to our sense of humour, being witty here is a way of life. Perfectly placed as an adopted Englishman himself, Mikes delivers his shrewd advice - helpfully divided into 'Theory' and 'Practice' - with a comic precision that does his chosen country proud. Drawing on a trove of examples from our rich comic canon, from Orwell ( Every joke is a tiny revolution ) to Oscar Wilde, this is the essential handbook for natives and foreigners alike. Mrs Kennedy- I don't think, Mr Churchill, that I have told you anything about my grandchildren. Winston Churchill- For which, madam, I am infinitely grateful.

- d***5 (488)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseArrived well packed and just as described - but without CD which should have been inside the outer cover. It was obviously an oversight by seller. I contacted seller who immediately gave me full refund - within 2 minutes of my email! - and told me to keep the book. This is exceptional service and went above and beyond what is expected. Thank You so much 👍Teeline for Journalists,Dawn Johnston (#132647011039)
