Vermilion Bennun, D: British As A Second Language

David Bennun had lived in Africa his whole life. At the age of 18 he came to Britain, the "mother country". The country he had read about in Punch magazine and seen in films like Chariots of Fire. He was in for a very big shock. In this timely follow-up to the critically acclaimed TICK BITE FEVER, David Bennun shows Britain through the eyes of an alien. With his brilliantly witty turn of phrase we follow his life as a student, his brushes with Bohemia, his troubles renting and buying property, his discovery of British food and his horrors at entering the world of work.
