Very British Problems: The Most Awkward One Yet
Rob Temple, illustrated by Andrew Wightman
Very British Problems is back, and even more awkward with hilarious new problems that we can all identify with.
Very British Problems are sweeping the nation like never before. They are in our workplaces, in our homes, in our government buildings, in our schools, cafés, parks, rivers, cities, towns, villages, glove boxes, sock drawers . . . Basically, they’re inescapable. There is no vaccine. There is no cure. So there we have it, we’re stuck with the malady of Britishness for the foreseeable. Nightmare, isn’t it?
Ah, well. Could be worse. Not quite sure how, though, off the top of my head. Any thoughts?

The Adventures of a Curious Cat
Curious Zelda
‘Curiosity is more than a desire to discover. It’s a lifestyle, and a purrvilege. It’s hours of observing a fly on the wall. It’s entering the sock drawer just before it closes. It’s sniffing the lampshade one more time . . .’
Such is the wisdom of Curious Zelda: social media star, agony aunt, yoga teacher, cat. In The Adventures of a Curious Cat she gives insight into her view of the world and dispenses unparalleled wisdom. Zelda explains, in her unique voice, how to handle humans, how to communicate with furniture, and most importantly how to live a life curiously. It’s the ultimate self-help guide for any cat, or indeed, their human.

52 Times Britain was a Bellend
James Felton
Twitter hero James Felton brings you the painfully funny history of Britain you were never taught at school, fully illustrated and chronicling 52 of the most ludicrous, weird and downright ‘baddie’ things we Brits* have done to the world since time immemorial – before conveniently forgetting all about them, of course. Including:
– Starting wars with China when they didn’t buy enough of our class A drugs
– Inventing a law so we didn’t have to return objects we’d blatantly stolen from other countries
– Casually creating muzzles for women
– And almost going to war over a crime committed by a pig
52 TIMES BRITAIN WAS A BELLEND will complete your knowledge of this sceptred isle in ways you never expected. So if you’ve ever wondered how we put the ‘Great’ in ‘Great Britain’, wonder
no more . . . *And when we say British, for the most part we unfortunately just mean the English.
