Durante una carrera de escritor que abarca treinta años, Miles Kington adquirió una legión de fanáticos devotos. Aquí en tapa blanda por primera vez hay una selección de su mejor trabajo.
Hay pasajes de su autobiografía (totalmente ficticia) Someone Like Me, extractos de la hilarante Mujer del Teniente de Franglais – sigue siendo la traducción definitiva de los clásicos al Franglais moderno – y muchas otras gemas atemporales de la escritura de cómics.
The Best by Miles es un digno monumento a un gran humorista británico, un hombre descrito por Richard Ingrams como "una de esas personas muy raras que pueden ser divertidas, sin esfuerzo, durante veinticuatro horas al día".
