Great British Wit

Description

There's nothing much left to feel good about these days if you're British, but one of the few things where we all agree that we're still a world leader is our defining sense of humour. Thematically covering every subject imaginable, from God to dogs, this collection will be the seminal gathering of our national wit and a picture of who we are as a nation - a monument to our monumental silliness.

Rosemarie Jarski has spent half a lifetime collecting quotes and possesses an astounding breadth of knowledge when it comes to compiling quotations, as her numerous bestselling books testify. She is also a successful screenwriter and spends time working in the UK and USA.

A veritable monument to our self-effacing approach * Goodtimes * An outstanding up-to-date anthology * Sunday Times * 400 pages of the funniest one-liners ever uttered by Brits about Brits...This is one of those clever books you'll pick up intent on having a quick browse and before you know it, it's dark outside, there's a black dot on the TV and you haven't spoken to another soul for 10 hours. * Scottish Daily Record *
