"Amazingly thorough. If you don't know a plonker from a slapper or
a berk from Joe Soap, this is the book for you."
-Joe Queenan, author of "True Believers" and "Queenan Country"
"A godsend to Americans trying to negotiate the minefield of
British life it will be like having a helpful British best friend
in your pocket, to guide you through all the tricky bits."
-Kate Fox, author of "Watching the English"
"Although I have traveled through the UK and written about it for
years, I found myself reading RULES, BRITANNIA with the pleasure of
a first-timer. Toni Summers Hargis answered questions I didn't even
know I had, and I smiled in recognition of many of the small but
very important nuances she points out. For anyone who wants to
arrive in the UK armed with the knowledge of an insider, her book
is well-organized, humorous and amazingly comprehensive."
--Susan Allen Toth, author of "My Love Affair with England" and
"England as You Like It"
