Teresa Monachino uses charming graphics to expose the tricks that English plays on us, highlighting inconsistent pronunciations, misleading spelling and other quirky characteristics. The author's passion for wordplay comes from her Italian mother's hesitant grasp of English. Over her lifetime Monachino has attempted to explain why certain words are incorrect, only to be herself baffled by the language's peculiarity and lack of logic. The content of the book is a visual treat, sure to leave you content.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition: \u003c\/b\u003eGood. Shelf ware consistent with age.
