Never Knowingly Understood

"By turns comforting, acerbic, outrageous and enlightening, a journey through the landscape of modern Britain in the company of the good Dr Roberts makes you see the world in new and strange ways. Gives you a prescription guaranteed to raise a smile, but one that also make you think. Imagine (if you can) the ghosts of Tony Hancock, Lewis Carroll and PG Wodehouse dropped in Castle Park, Colchester and asked to find their way back home, relying only on on their wit and the kindness of strangers. A gem."

Stephen May

"Anthony Roberts' columns make me laugh, make me think and sometimes make me wonder what he had for breakfast that morning. They are all beautifully written and full of insight - delivered in his own inimitable style."
