Binding intact. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA classic collection of British wit and humour, Many a True Word by Denys Parsons presents a delightfully curated anthology of amusing observations, verbal blunders, and comic misadventures drawn from the everyday absurdities of mid-twentieth century life. Parsons, best known for his wildly popular Funny Typos series, brings his sharp editorial eye to bear on the unintentional comedy found in newspapers, public notices, and social exchanges. The book captures the gentle, self-deprecating spirit of postwar British humour with illustrations by the celebrated cartoonist Anton, whose witty line drawings perfectly complement the text. A charming and endlessly entertaining read, it illustrates just how much inadvertent comedy lurks in the ordinary use of language.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956359442651,"sku":"2026100006037-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/44f0857b-eda1-4080-9d7d-b1a75c1757ed.png?v=1783500197","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006037-secondhand-many-a-true-word","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
