Reviews
"A delightful book - one can open it at almost any page and be drawn in. It is no small compliment to say that it would be an excellent appealing appetiser for uncommited 6th formers and pre-law students.... all three years of undergraduates would get benefit from reading it." V Tunkel, Queen Mary College, London
