Unsure whether our national character still exists? Reassurance is at hand. Following the remarkable success of the first How To Be British Collection, this second book turns the spotlight on yet more of our cultural curiosities – from kings and queens to kilts and custard.
The richly detailed cartoons poke gentle fun at such treasured cultural institutions as afternoon tea, cricket, pubs and Do-It-Yourself, as well as putting under the magnifying glass some familiar ideas about national character: respect for privacy (ours, that is), politeness, sobriety, and love of tradition.
With its celebration of our endearing and enduring oddities, The How To Be British Collection Two will amuse and delight Brit-watchers everywhere.

These little books (One and Two) are splendid.
One laughs a lot and realizes that it is not possible to learn how to be British... just enough to admire their culture.
Sue West 2012
Very funny and perfect for anyone wanting to learn more about the lighter side of the English culture and English behaviour.
MomRay 2012
Great fun, and back to school for the newcomer! This volume continues the lessons in etiquette and humor of book one. Both are highly entertaining as well as instructive.
