Utterly Impartial History of Britain, An by John O'farrell
Shows us how England's peculiar class system was established by some snobby French nobles, and explores the complex socio-economic reasons why Britain's kings were the first in Europe to be brought to heel. This book takes us on an informative journey through Britain's bizarre history.
"Excellent..John O'Farrell gives an extra squirm to the traditional English comedy of embarrassment" Sunday Times "So funny because it rings true...Packed with painfully observed jokes" The Times "Punchline fuelled, relentless humour...Is John O'Farrell funny? Very!" The Mirror "A tart narrative voice and a delectably understated way with wisecracks...Very, very funny" New York Times "O'Farrell is a consistently humorous writer with an acute ear for the absurdities of middle class pretension" Mail On Sunday
