The King’s English Amis, Kingsley

**The King's English by Kingsley Amis - Preloved Paperback**

Kingsley Amis serves up a deliciously grumpy guide to proper English usage that's part grammar book, part rant against linguistic pretension. This witty exploration of language tackles everything from split infinitives to dangling participles, but with Amis's trademark sardonic humor that makes grammar genuinely entertaining.

Perfect for writers, editors, language lovers, and anyone who's ever cringed at "different than" or wondered why people say "between you and I." Amis, the Booker Prize-winning author of *Lucky Jim*, brings his sharp wit to the world of English usage, creating a reference book that's actually fun to read.

This literary non-fiction gem from our preloved collection at Patina Paperbacks offers practical advice wrapped in laugh-out-loud commentary. Whether you're a grammar pedant or just curious about the English language, Amis makes the rules stick without being stuffy.

*"Finally, a grammar guide with personality! Amis makes me laugh while teaching me things I never knew about my own language."*
*"Brilliant and brutal - exactly what English usage guides should be but rarely are."*
