Fantastic Kingdom

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 Oxford
To 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
