| Description: |
What are the 100 things the British are most proud of and what defines Britishness? This volume nominates 100 British greats - ideas, inventions, accomplishments, monuments, artsitic and cultural movements and figures - from the beginning of British history to the present day. |
| Synopsis: |
The finest Britain has to offer, brilliantly commented on by its best writers and personalities. From the heroic ("Winston Churchill's 1940 Speeches" by Andrew Roberts) and the literary ("The Novels of Jane Austen" by Nigel Nicolson) to the sporting ("The Saturday Afternoon Football Results" by former Monty Python member Michael Palin) and the floral ("Kew Gardens" by Jane Fearnley-Whittingstall)-not to mention miniskirts and Bond-these engrossing, enlightening short essays prove just why Brittania rules! |
