Author's eighth novel. Shortlisted for the 1998 Booker Prize. A New York Times Notable Book. A 'semi-farce' about 'Little England' recreated as a theme park on the Isle of Wight. By turns, a philosophical inquiry, a burst of mischief, and a moving elegy about authenticity, myth-making and nationhood, reminiscent of Jean Baudrillard's claim that 20th century reality has been superseded by 'simulacra'. "A brilliant, Swiftian fantasy." –The Economist
