'Surviving the Americans' is a series of four extremely entertaining, shockingly true and jaw achingly funny stories. These incredible accounts perfectly blend the English and American humours to guarantee belly laughter both sides of the pond. Each of the adventures is based upon an Englishman exploring the modern United States of America. Our Englishman starts his first adventure by riding a motorbike across the U.S.A. and discovers that the hills do indeed have eyes, and they're giving him a dirty look...

After surviving situations that make the movie Deliverance seem more like a documentary our gallant Brit decides to try his hand at business but bites off more of the Big Apple than he can chew. He soon has a run in with the New York Mafia which results in such a hysterically funny account that it makes Mickey Blue Eyes look like a drama in comparison.

Can a real British gentleman ever adapt to a nation that was founded on the terrible crime of wasting good tea? Well things start looking up when our man is invited to meet Shakespeare’s descendants in New York, which offers an interesting take on Shakespeare's globe and the opportunity to tame an old shrew. Fortunately in that tale all's well that ends well.

The fourth story has our Brit meet up with an old school chum who has moved to Boston and is trying to live the American dream. Our hero soon realises that his old Cambridge pal is leading a double life, and is drawn into the centre of a dark and sinister lie.

"You are in for a real treat, these stories are a mixture of Monty Python and Jack Kerouac. ‘Surviving the Americans' by James Wilkinson has been written to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II - God Bless the Queen!"
