Editorial Reviews
Review
Stimulating and insightful, with a sharp observation on every page, Fantastic Kingdom is the work of a true and candid friend . . . It explains Britain to the world - and, perhaps unexpectedly, to the British themselves -- Jonathan Freedland, bestselling author of The Traitors Circle
The perfect observer of a UK in crisis -- James Hawes, author of The Shortest History of England
A bracing primer on British public life . . . It is a rare pleasure to have your country anatomised with so much clarity and nuance from the outside -- Oliver Moody, author of BALTIC
Fantastic Kingdom is a fantastic achievement. A masterful, whirlwind tour of modern Britain from a sympathetic but fiercely knowledgeable critical friend. It holds up a mirror from many different angles to a country undergoing a convulsion. Hugely readable and essential reading -- Ciaran Martin, Professor of Practice in the Management of Public Organisations, University of OxfordTo see ourselves as others see us: Fantastic Kingdom has opened my eyes to the astonishing peculiarities of this wonderful - and very odd - country we British call home. A work of great insight and genius -- Gavin Esler, author of HOW BRITAIN ENDS
