The Bride of Anguished English: A Bonanza of Bloopers, Blunders, Botches and Boo-boos

The average English improvement book may cast a sleep spell on you, but The Bride of Anguished English will bring you on a magical literary tour of the English language.

The book is a collection of puns, typographical errors, mangled metaphors, accidental double-entendres and other linguistic blunders.

These are real life examples that Lederer has compiled from newspapers, restaurants menus, politicians’ speeches and weird translations from foreign languages. Every page is guaranteed to bring you laughter.

Check if this title is available at Public Libraries via the online catalogue on the National Library Board’s website.
