«An Englishman in Paris: L'éducation continentale» is Michael Sadler's travel book (Simon & Schuster UK, paperback, 208 pages, in English).
Michael Sadler recalls his first year in Paris and the customs that baffle and amuse him: the protocol of buying flowers, the role of cricket in French flirtation, and the risks of «mantequilla negra» to health and clothing. The book is a humorous chronicle of everyday life.
The book was published in 2003, belongs to the Englishman series, and includes a foreword by Peter Mayle.
This book is for armchair travellers and Francophiles who want a British perspective on Parisian life.
Sir Michael Ernest Sadler was an English historian, educationalist and university administrator. He worked at Victoria University of Manchester and was the vice-chancellor of the University of Leeds. He was also a champion of the English public school system.
