English Companion An Idiosyncratic A-z of England And Englishness

In this witty and stylish companion to Englishness Sunday Times columnist Godfrey Smith takes us on a leisurely but perceptive tour of all that he holds dear in England and the English. It is very much an informal ramble, as if in the company of an old friend. He treats us to a display of sparkling and knowledgeable comments on our national life from Churchill to pubs, Elgar to Rugby, Bertie Wooster to George Orwell, British beef to the National Lottery and from fish and chips to Evelyn Waugh.Smith, Godfrey is the author of 'English Companion An Idiosyncratic A-z of England And Englishness', published 2006 under ISBN 9781873590218 and ISBN 1873590210.
