Synopsis

A send-up of all things Caledonian by the cartoonist Besley.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A spoof guide to all things Scottish, combining cartoons and text to present a garbled, muddled but affectionate version of Scottish affairs in a similar vein to 1066 And All That. Parading as a plain man's guide to All Things Caledonian, this brilliantly illustrated book sends up the traditional misty-eyed Brigadoon view of Scotland with all its tartan biscuit tins and bow-tied Scotty dog postcards. Besley turns his eye on geography, climate, natural history, the arts, sport , the economy, whisky, touring , clans and the language with the same unfailing squint.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Rupert Besley is one of the UK's most recognised cartoonists and is author of Ireland For Beginners and illustrates Allan Morrison's bestselling humour books for NWP. He lives on the Isle of Wight.
