Antrobus Complete

Antrobus is a long-serving diplomat whose stories follow the everyday absurdities of the British Foreign Office. Across these linked tales, he shows what the institution looks like from the inside: its routines, its rivalries, and the odd situations that arise when officials try to protect British interests in distant places. This edition gathers every Antrobus story together for the first time in paperback, illustrated with lively drawings. It is a fond, wry portrait of an old and enduring department, and of the man who seems to embody it.
