I'm No Expert, But ...: Unpublished Letters to the Daily Telegraph vol. 17

by Kate Moore

In another surreal and unprecedented year in which even the most seasoned commentators have struggled to keep pace with the news cycle, letter writers to The Daily Telegraph have once again provided their refreshing and witty take on events. 

Now in its seventeenth year, this new edition of the best-selling series is a review of the year made up of the wry and astute observations of the unpublished Telegraph letter writers.
 
Readers of the Telegraph Letters Page will be fondly aware of the eclectic combination of learned wisdom, wistful nostalgia and robust good sense of humour that characterise its correspondence – and this volume contains yet more pearls of insight.

With an agenda as enticing as ever, the seventeenth book in the bestselling Unpublished Letters series will prove, once again, that the Telegraph’s readers still have a shrewd sense of what really matters.

[Felicity · Rating 4 out of 5]

I received this from my mother in law to be this Christmas and it was perfect Christmas reading. These are unpublished letter from readers to the Daily Telegraph. Some are hilarious others are clever and some are just weird or plain bonkers! They cover a wide variety of subjects from politics, weird marriage proposals to trains and the use of English!

Perfect Christmas reading as you can dip in to it but it got a bit too political and grumpy in places!
