Praise for Emma Smith
Thought-provoking, fizzing with jokes ... Smith does it all with such a light touch you barely notice how much you're learning
Colin Burrow, Guardian
Brilliantly approachable and entertaining ... anarchic, counterintuitive, critical ... perfect
Alex Preston, Observer
Delightful ... beautifully judged, impeccably researched, yet wry and affectionate
Jerry Brotton, Financial Times
Quirky, brilliant, bracing
Daniel Swift, Spectator
