England in Particular

I am an American citizen with an absolute fascination for all things across the pond in Britain. For some time now I have been reading British mystery books by authors such as Minette Walters and Elizabeth George. So often I would come across a word that I am unacumstomed to reading. For the longest time I could'nt figure out what an AGA was. It's a type of stove for those who would like to know. And why is that man putting on a jumper? Was he inclined to wearing frumpy women's clothing? No, but of course not, it's just another name for an ordinary sweater. This book is filled thoroughly from cover to cover with wonderful insights into all things English. I highly recommend it as a companion book to have on hand for anyone who enjoys curling up with a good British mystery novel and a cup of steaming Earl Grey tea, but hold the milk please!
