Publisher's Summary
What would happen if a tycoon decided to turn England into a theme park? Before anyone could say "Windsor Castle," replicas of all of the kingdom's great landmarks - from the Tower of London and Westminister Abbey to the National Gallery and everything in between - all turn up in one place. And what if credit-worthy tourists could escape to this island that permits vast expense accounts and prohibits paparazzi?

Critic Reviews
- Booker Prize Finalist
"A treasure chest of wordplays, ironic imagery and gemlike phrasing that's sure to amuse." ( The Wall Street Journal)
"A brilliant, Swiftian fantasy: a virtual England." ( The Economist)
"...an uproarious farce that mocks both our postmodernist suspicion of the authentic and our Disney-like willingness to turn that embrace of the ersatz into a money-making machine." ( The New York Times)
