From custard and Shakespeare to fog and cricket, the handbook casts a fond eye over those things that make the English so very English, exploring common customs, fashion, and tourist favorites along with places off the beaten path. National treasures and national embarrassments are highlighted as well as the “Ten Commandments of Being English,” food, sports, and history.
