Product Description

Product Description
An invaluable guide to the world of good grammar which breaks down the barriers that prevent so many articulate, intelligent people from communicating effectively. Picking up a book on grammar takes courage, but the learner can take heart from the fact that many of the great writers, including Charlotte Bronte, were hopeless at grammar at school. Her teachers complained that she 'knew nothing of grammar', and could read only 'tolerably' and write 'indifferently'. Yet though learning and obeying the rules of grammar won't automatically bestow the grace and excellence of a Bronte on your writing, learning how written language works will certainly improve your communication skills, step by practical step. The guide features: - the thirteen gremlins of grammar, from apostrophes to verbs - the point of sentence construction - the writing of good English - witty cartoons by Hunt Emerson

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, 21 April 2006
By Meldorf (England) - See all my reviews
I picked up this book in our local library half-heartedly. When I got in home I was drawn in by its easy style. I am one of many from that 'lost generation' who learned no formal grammar at school. This book at once got me interested and I realised that it isn't too late or difficult to learn.
I thought I might see what my ten year old daughter made of it and was surprised when she found it as compulsive reading as I had.
This book is comprehensive without being overwhelming.
Of course we now have our own copy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written guide to grammar, 29 Jun 2009
By H. Bennett "Hannah of Exeter" (Devon) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is very well written and easy to read. The only reason why I didn't give it maximum stars is that it could do with more examples for some of the more complex terms. Having said that, I doubt you will find a better book on the subject.
