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 OED, and brimming with the strong opinions and razor-sharp wit that made Amis so popular -- and so controversial -- The King's English will be a must for fans and language purists for years to come.
