About this title

Synopsis

As Kingsley Amis says in his introduction: "This book is a treasure-house of truth, fantasy and wit."

For twenty-five years Peter Simple's Way of the World column in The Daily Telegraph has combined hilarity with an attack on all the pretensions and hypocrisy, all that is "trendy" and "up-to-date" and taken for granted in the modern world.

The last home of lost causes, the bitter enemy of the car, the airport, television, motorways and women's liberation, Peter Simple's writing is unmatched in its originality, brilliance and penetration.

And above all, as Kingsley Amis reminds us, "we are talking about some of the funniest writing of our time."

"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
