It's English, but 'British' is not quite the same English as it is for people from outside of Great Britain. English literature is among the best in the world, and worthy of study but learning may be hindered by the occasional British-ism, slang, or historic reference. Context may provide clues, but this is not the same thing as really understanding what the author is saying. So Viceroys and Vergers is a lighthearted dictionary to clear up these tricky bits from Shakespeare to Harry Potter. Complete understanding also makes reading more fun.
