Description
English Humour for Beginners by George Mikes is a witty exploration of the English sense of humour. Mikes identifies three essential elements: understatement, self-deprecation, and plain cruelty, which he believes are the keys to being funny. As an adopted Englishman, Mikes brings a unique perspective to his analysis, offering helpful advice on how to cultivate a sense of humour that is both wise and witty.
