’a hilarious new book, Lost in Translation, is a collection of linguistic lunacy from around the world.’ Sunday Mail, 8 October 2006

Featuring hundreds of genuine, original and utterly ridiculous examples of mistranslated mayhem, gathered from around the globe, Lost in Translation is bound to have you laughing out loud. Collected by the intrepid Charlie Croker from various eateries, who insist that you must sample their delicious ‘Hot dog mustache pringle’ (Egypt), or shops who claim that Switzerland is a ‘seaside city’ (Japan), and other various institutions from hotels to public transport, he leaves no stone unturned in his affectionate look at the world’s baffling use of the English language.
