Description

Did you know that the Italians invented the fork, and the English named the Dolomites? That you can't drink cappuccino after noon or buy coloured pasta in Italy without being instantly recognised as English? This original guide to English-Italian stereotypes and prejudices - sometimes funny, sometimes serious - is an essential part of every European traveller's luggage!

Author Biography:

Laura Tosi is Professor of English Literature at Venice University, specialising in early modern drama and children's literature. She has spent a lot of time in the UK and is still trying to understand the English. Peter Hunt is retired Professor of Children's Literature from Cardiff University, and in autumn 2013 was visiting Professor in Venice where he discovered spritz and, to his surprise, was not kidnapped by the mafia. The illustrator of the book is Jane Stevenson. She was born in London, and brought up in Beijing, London and Bonn. She is an academic by profession and also the author of two collections of novellas and four novels. She has always drawn for pleasure, and occasionally for publication. The cover art is one of her collages.
