{"product_id":"9780141194318-retail-the-kings-english","title":"The King's English","description":"Amis's acerbic guide to the use and abuse of the English language, part of a new series of reissues of his work in Penguin Modern Classics\n\nThe King's English is Kingsley Amis's 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.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49001242984667,"sku":"9780141194318-RETAIL","price":25.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/0e918e6a-94e0-4017-9112-10e676474e19.jpg?v=1784744860","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780141194318-retail-the-kings-english","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
