Publisher's Synopsis

Constantly confused by the difference between adjectives and adverbs? Still can't figure out how to use a semi-colon? Or simply want to refresh the English language knowledge you learnt from school?

The King's English is the perfect handbook to tackle all of these challenges. Written by the President of the Queen's English Society, this book covers the basics - grammar, spelling and punctuation - and offers tips and tricks on how to improve rhetoric, vocabulary and style, so you can confidently use the English language with flair.

Including amusing examples of what can happen when English is employed incorrectly, and sprinkled with illustrations to drive home key points and short exercises to reinforce essential lessons, this is an authoritative yet entertaining guide to one of the most widely used languages in the world.
