Book Description
A is for Donkeys is an alphabetic adventure with a difference. Readers are invited to delight in the sounds and semantics of letters A-Z, discovering many quirks of the English language along the way. This is no simple reading primer - it's a celebration of the absurdities of spelling and pronunciation, using ingenious puns and idioms, old and new. The stylish letterform illustrations by Riccardo Guasco beautifully amplify the humour and occasional pathos of Jonathan Hope's playful verse. A gem of a book for all phonetics-phobic adults, linguistically-curious children and fun-seeking English language learners and teachers.

Led by Donkeys
Author: LedByDonkeys
Publisher: Atlantic Books
ISBN: 1838950206
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
The official account - complete with full-colour illustrations - of how four ordinary people managed to expose the government's hypocrisies through a nationwide guerrilla advertising campaign. Seeking to highlight the hypocrisy of our politicians on Brexit four friends armed with nothing more than ladders, roller brushes and a treasure trove of damning statements from our leaders slapped up the politicians' biggest lies on billboards around the country. This guerrilla operation wasn't easy, but it wasn't long before the British public enabled them to take things into their own hands - and the rest is history. Leave the EU or remain? An apparently simple question divided the nation in historic fashion. Many of us believed the words of these politicians. By putting up their quotes as billboards, self-styled 'Led By Donkeys' had clear intentions - to compare the promises that have been made across the years with the damning reality.
