"[A] useful, usable guide for intelligent, literate, whimsical readers and writers who never learned to parse a sentence....In the company of werewolves, nymphs, fauns, debutantes, gargoyles, mastodons and ordinary human beings making the usual mastakes of human life, [the author] approaches the creation of sentences as a daring and exalted act." As William Safire is quoted as saying on the back cover, "A book to sink your fangs into." 144+ pages with many quirky illustrations.
