How to be an alien in England : a guide to the English

Books, Manuscripts
In 1946, George Mikes published his not particularly gentle parody of the British, 'How to be an Alien'. It swiftly became a bestseller and has stayed in print ever since. In 2008, as Angela Kiss moved from one linguistic misunderstanding to another, she kept George's slim volume of wisdom by her side, and its observations enlightened and guided her through the early years of life in the UK. This is her tribute - Mikes for the 21st century - England described through the eyes of a hopelessly romantic, hard-working, fast-learning young European.
