About this product
Product Information
In today s busy world, where text-speak seems to be the prevalent form of written English, and the average teenager can barely form a proper sentence without using the numbers '4' or '8' as substitutes for letters, is the pun becoming an endangered species? As a society we have come to regard wordplay as old-fashioned, obvious humour, because it hinges simply on one word having multiple definitions, spellings or sound-a-likes. It may not be controversial, edgy or even topical, but it actually takes a great deal of skill, wit and general knowledge to come up with a decent pun not everyone can do it. The Little Book of Puns explores the dying art of paronomasia and gives us a taste of the very best wordplay history has to offer. It harks back to the heady days when intelligence was measured at dinner parties rather than behind a school desk, when people still wrote letters instead of emails and actually read newspapers instead of checking out a website. This book may as well exist in anti gravity, because you ll find it almost impossible to put down!

No quibble at all about the condition of this item or the speed of dispatch, but I was slightly disappointed in its content. The cover leads you to believe that this has varied designs but in fact all but the last two pages were borders or patterns. Still very useful, but not quite what I was expecting. Still happy with my purchase though.
