The Englishman's Handbook is the third book in Idries Shah's best-selling trilogy on why the English are as strange as they are. He examines the 'baffling phenomena of the British and Britishness', presenting a manual of handy tips on how to muddle through while visiting English shores.
An illuminating and often hilarious read, the book is just as valuable to the British as it is to foreigners.It contains all sorts of extraordinary information on how to confuse foreigners with sheer Englishness, if any do manage to break through the barriers.
