En savoir plus sur le livre
This charming and quirky children's grammar book first appeared in 1824 as one of several beautifully hand-coloured instructional texts published by John Harris in his "Cabinet of Amusement and Instruction." There are a series of larger-than-life characters in the book, including Mr. Stops, Counsellor Comma, and the hero, Young Robert, humorously bring its lessons to life with witty and amusing verse such as: 'See, how Semicolon is strutting with pride; Into two or more parts he'll a sentence divide." There are lively and colourful engravings that infuse the book with an entertaining spirit, while also reinforcing the lessons laid out in its cheerful rhymes.It is evident to see how a child would have enjoyed learning about grammar through 'Punctuation Personified', as its simple but instructive verse and vibrant illustrations skilfully open up a fresh world of knowledge. This new edition, featuring a modern introduction, will delight and amuse readers of all ages.
