102 Inglés cosas que hacer

by James Nunn Alex Quick, James Nunn (Illustrator)

Packed with suggestions that will spur even the most lethargic reader to leap from their favourite armchair and express their Englishness (perhaps by buying a gnome, needlessly apologising, or going to a beer festival - or all three), 102 English Things To Do is a delightful, insightful and mostly affectionate portrait of the English national character.


This beautifully illustrated and charming book (to boast in a very un-English manner) deserves a place in every English home - and will entertain and enlighten the mystified outsider in search of a key to that most elusive of qualities: Englishness.

Excellent! Humorous and witty! it made me travel back to my time in England and everything described was exactly like that.

What a delightful reading! I wish I could visit England again to do some of the 102 things I've left behind... Just loved it!

[Jane Ellen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another book loan from SL, and this one was a delight! Learned all kinds of hysterically eccentric things about the land I love so much.

[Luismi Fernández · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you really want to know how English people think and behave, their costums and culture, then this is your book. As a foreigner I had already noticed most of the things mentioned in the book but there're always new things to pile up and keep learning about English culture and way of life.

Hilariously well- observed book. Some brilliant punch lines!

Instructive and entertaining – typically English.

A delightful read. I sailed through it.
