I have to hand it to Spadge. The resulting book is funny and silly and brave, and above all ''joyous''. We all know that facing our fears is generally a good thing, even if we don't always do it, but who knew that facing other people's fears would be so illuminating? I loved this journey through the preoccupations of my fellow Brits and I loved the way Spadge approached it all with a good heart and typically British self-deprecation. Really, I loved everything about it. EXCEPT FOR THE SPIDERS.
And if that weren't enough for you, all the profits from ''Braver Than Britain'' will be going to [httpshttp://sarcoma.org.uk/ Sarcoma UK], the bone and soft tissue cancer charity. Sarcoma is a lesser known cancer and this charity needs all the support it can get. What better reason to buy this lovely little book? And what better reason to face your fears than raising money for it?
Recommended.
