Synopsis

Boris is not mentioned (oh, bother!) but the burqa gets an airing in this witty guide to the fair sex. The author scrutinises some fifty types of women, from blondes to bimbos, gold diggers to geisha. They're all here, along with nuns, nymphets and the pouting little fillies known as clothes horses. So, too, are those who prefer real horses and wear chaps.Eva Peron (“the bitch from the sticks”), Lola Montez, the original Lolitta, Calamity Jane and Nelson's mistress, Emma Hamilton, all warrant a mention. As do Mrs Worthington, her daughter and one or two ladies who see the world as their stage.The author, a former Fleet Street journalist who cooks his own breakfast, stood for Parliament in 2010 but was defeated by – a woman. “This has not prejudiced me in any way,” he said. Decide for yourself. (Keith, by the way, has no hang-ups about the burqa. After all, he lived in Libya for a year.)
