I just read a great bit of travel writing called "The Grand Tour" by Tim Moore. He's a Brit who decides to follow the route of Thomas Coryate, an early 17th Century tourist (perhaps one of the first, in the modern sense of the word) through the Continent. Blisteringly funny and occasionally insightful, and he uses "twee" (one of my favourite Britishisms) often, which is what made me think of it. I'd recommend it to anyone, particularly Americans. The book has been published here (and I got a copy in my local small-town library) but has clearly not been de-Anglicised -- to the extent that I missed several jokes because they were too British.
