As Brexit reaches its final stretch, find a way to laugh through the pain and or celebrate the end with Ladybird's hilarious and essential guide, The Story of Brexit.

'Hilarious' STYLIST
________

'"Leaving was the will of the people" sighs Angelica's father. He voted to leave.

Angelica voted to remain, but she feels the same way. "It is the will of the people," she sighs.

They stare at the ducks. They like the ducks. Ducks are better than people.'
________

'Brexit gave us lots of exciting new words, like brextremist, remoaner, bremoaner, remaybe, breprehensible, remaintenance, brexorcist, remaidstone, brex-girlfriend, remange, brextortion, remayhem and bregret.

The new words make it harder for foreigners to understand what we are saying.

In a tough, new international business world, small advantages such as this can be crucial.'
________

This delightful book is the latest in the series of Ladybird books which have been specially planned to help grown-ups with the world about them.

The large clear script, the careful choice of words, the frequent repetition and the thoughtful matching of text with pictures all enable grown-ups to think they have taught themselves to cope. Featuring original Ladybird artwork alongside brilliantly funny, brand new text.

'The latest offering in the hilarious Ladybird for Grown Ups series is a funny mickey-take of the Brexit debate (and boy, do we need some fun)' Sunday Post

About the Author

Jason Hazeley & Joel Morris are the award-winning authors of the bestselling Ladybird Books For Grown-Ups series.

They write for Charlie Brooker's BAFTA award-winning Wipe shows, and co-wrote Cunk on Shakespeare, Cunk on Christmas and Cunk on Britain. They have also written for the award-winning Murder in Successville, the award-winning Miranda, the award-winning Mitchell & Webb, the award-winning Armstrong & Miller and a long list of shows and people both award-winning and so-far-award-avoiding.

They created and wrote the critically lauded but as yet un-awarded Ångström for BBC Radio 4, and helped write both the award-winning Paddington movies. They are co-creators of spoof local newspaper The Framley Examiner (awards pending) and the bestselling but still-waiting-to-be-award-winning offbeat travel guides Bollocks to Alton Towers and Far from the Sodding Crowd.

They present the podcast Rule of Three (Guardian Guide Best 50 Podcasts 2018 - is that an award?) and divide their time between their office, where they keep their awards, and an award-winning pub.

This is their fortieth book.

    Joel Morris is one of Britain’s busiest and most respected comedy writers, working on everything from Charlie Brooker’s Wipe shows, the Philomena Cunk series and A Touch Of Cloth to Murder In Successville, Miranda, and the hit Paddington films.

    Joel co-created the 5-million-plus selling Ladybird Books For Grown-Ups series which at one point occupied eight of the top ten hardback bestseller slots. He also co-created the cult humour hit The Framley Examiner (“The funniest book ever” according to Simpsons showrunner Josh Weinstein) and co-wrote the bestselling British travel guides Bollocks To Alton Towers (“One of the best guide books ever written” The Guardian).

    His book Be Funny Or Die, about the craft and science of comedy, exploring what makes humans make other humans laugh, was described by Caitlin Moran as ‘The ultimate Ted Talk on comedy.’

    Joel is behind the award winning Rule of Three podcast about the craft of comedy writing (winner, best arts and culture podcast British Podcast Awards 2020) and Comfort Blanket, the hit podcast where guests choose the pop culture favourite that never lets them down.

    This well-researched non-fiction book provides a stark warning to EU member states everywhere about the dangers associated with the leaving of the European Union. And this was written well before the UK actually left and nobody could deny the trainwreck that it is any longer (at least not with a straight face and not without being laughed out of any room populated with intelligent people).

    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    I have one or two of these "Adult" Ladybird books, and I have to admit that the resemblance to the originals from the 60s and 70s is remarkable. Writing adult material in a child's style is also amusing for the first one or two times. . . unfortunately after a few books the joke runs thin. A great present for someone who has not seen these books before.

    What should I say, as an English man living in France, you can imagine my opinion on the subject, but that's neither here nor there, but what I can say is: Everything is in the title, I've got a few of these books and I think that the humour is wonderful.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Satire, durch und durch.
    Reviewed in Germany on 26 January 2019
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    Die Ladybird-Buchreihe erklärt normalerweise in kurzen, ausgiebig illustrierten Bänden Kindern im Grundschulalter Aspekte der Welt. In Großbritannien haben diese Bücher eine lange Tradition und sind in der Regel auch mehr oder weniger ernst zu nehmen. Die Serie „A Ladybird Book for Grown-ups“ begibt sich allerdings ziemlich massiv auf den Weg der Satire, was schon in der Rückseite des Schutztitels zu sehen ist, indem die Herausgeber für die Hilfe von Dr. Idiculous Bluff danken, einem emeritus Befürworter der Bloviation bei UKIP (University of Knowledge in Practice). Außerdem wurde das Buch in England gedruckt, wenn es allerdings feucht wäre, dann in Italien.

    Der Inhalt des Buchs lässt nach den einführenden und vor den abschließenden Worten der beiden Autoren fiktive Briten – auf der Grundlage wirklich gehörter Briten – zu Wort kommen in Bezug auf das, was Brexit für sie bedeutet. Und das ist teilweise sehr bitter.

    Knapp zwei Monate vor dem offiziellen Ende der Zugehörigkeit Großbritanniens zur Europäischen Union ist dies eine Lektüre mit einem lachenden, einem weinenden und einem ungläubig weit aufgerissenem Auge, wozu neben der Realität, die Texte und auch die Illustrationen beitragen. Wer Brexit nicht so ganz versteht, der bekommt hier zwar keine neuen Erkenntnisse, aber eine treffende satirische Betrachtung.
