A unique and hilarious take on Britain under the rule of our dear departed Prime Minister from acclaimed journalist and parodist Craig Brown
An awful lot has happened since that bright, fateful May morning in 1997 when New Labour swept to power. Things, we were told, could only get better. Instead, things took a turn for the worse. This book describes Britain during the Tony Years: from Cool Britannia to ASBOs and from Posh and Becks to Charles and Camilla.
An awful lot has happened since that bright, fateful May morning in 1997 when New Labour swept to power. Things, we were told, Could Only Get Better. Instead, things took a turn for the worse...
To console Tony Blair as he embarks on his long, grinning journey into oblivion, Craig Brown has packed a special time-capsule of Britain during the Tony Years: from Cool Britannia to ASBOs and from Posh and Becks to Charles and Camilla, the nation's funniest satirist makes sense - and nonsense - of it all.
Worth three times the price * Sunday Telegraph *
Unbeatable * Independent *
Brilliant ... Brown's inventiveness is inexhaustible ... How lucky we are to have this master in our midst * Mail on Sunday *
His humour is based on pitch-perfect parody of the pompous and the deluded ... For hilarious, heartfelt and caustic attacks on the useless and the ephemeral, Brown cannot be bettered * New Stateman *
A glitteringly funny collection * Spectator *
Britain's best satirist inspires love and fear in equal measure, the first from his fans, the second from his victims * Evening Standard *
Craig Brown is arguably the finest satirist working out of these shores today and The Tony Years is a perfect companion piece to his previous anthology, This is Craig Brown ... It's a dip-able delight * Metro *
It is meant as a compliment when I say The Tony Years ... is destined for lavatory immortality * Observer *
My way through this book was punctuated by giggles and snorts of laughter, and I will be dipping into it for a long time to come * Independent on Sunday *
