The book is an esoteric look at some of the wild characters emanating from the United Kingdom and has been described as "a work of maniacal genius".[1] It featured entries on eccentrics and rogues famous, infamous and little-known, including Beauchamp Bagenal, Lord Berners, John Aspinall and John Wilkes. Some entries, such as that on George Best, reflect a certain cynicism about media-created rogues.
