"The King's English" is Kingsley Amis' authoritative and witty guide to the use and abuse of the English language.
A scourge of illiteracy and a thorn in the side of pretension, Amis provides indispensable advice about the linguistic blunders and barbarities that lie in wait for us, from danglers, four-letter words to jargon and even Welsh rarebit.
If you have ever wondered whether it's acceptable to start a sentence with 'and', to boldly split an infinitive, or to cross your sevens in the French style, Amis has the answer - or a trenchant opinion.
By turns reflective, acerbic and provocative, "The King's English" is for anyone who cares about how the English language is used.
