Laugh out loud, a master class on grumbling

Shock horror! Here is a little book on the art of Britain's favourite pastime: grousing. It boasts the best and most amusing letters to the editor of British peeves from the time of Agatha Christie to P.G. Wodehouse and shows us why it is just so much fun to complain about everything! Never mind WWI and WWII, what about filthy streets, rubbish trams, yelling vendors, turf rage, death-trap trees and many more. These letter writers fix their glaring eye on the small things in life. Complaining has never been more entertaining!



Nigel Cawthorne started his career as a journalist at the Financial Times and has since written bestselling books on quirky British history, such as Outraged of Tunbridge Wells.
