A Parthian shot from one of the most important figures in post-war British fiction, *The King's English* is the late Kingsley Amis's last word on the state of the language. More frolicsome than *Fowler's Modern Usage,* lighter than the *Oxford English Dictionary* , and brimming with the strong opinions and razor-sharp wit that made Amis so popular--and so controversial-- *The King's English* is a must for fans and language purists.
