Gwynne''s Grammar: The Ultimate Introduction to Grammar and the Writing of Good English. Incorporating also Strunks Guide to Style.

English

By (author): Nevile Gwynne

'Grammar is the science of using words rightly, leading to thinking rightly, leading to deciding rightly, without which as both common sense and experience show happiness is impossible. Therefore: happiness depends at least partly on good grammar.'

So writes Mr Gwynne in his small, but perfectly formed new book. Mr Gwynne believes passionately that we must regain our knowledge of the lost science of grammar before it is too late.

Formerly a successful businessman, Mr Gwynne has for many years been teaching and tutoring just about every sort of subject to just about every sort of pupil in just about every sort of circumstance. His teaching methods are very much the traditional, common-sense ones, refined over the centuries, that were almost everywhere until they were abolished in the 1960s.

Being disappointed in the standards of grammar he encountered in his pupils, Mr Gwynne, over time, wrote this wonderful, succinct and yet comprehensive little book because nothing quite as suitable already existed.

This edition also includes Strunks classic guide to style, explaining how to write well and the main pitfalls to avoid.

Beautifully designed, easy to understand and a joy to read, Gwynne's Grammar may be the best little book you will ever have in your life.

About Nevile Gwynne

Now living in County Wexford Ireland and in his 70s N M Gwynne was formerly a successful businessman in London and Australia. On retirement in the 1980s he gradually took up teaching at first privately. He soon found that he had a clear vocation for teaching and that his traditional methods universal up to the 1960s and refined and perfected century after century up till then had suddenly become all but unique because of the revolution in teaching that had taken place worldwide at around that time. Subjects he has been teaching in classrooms in lecture halls and nowadays mostly privately include English Latin Greek French German mathematics history classical philosophy natural medicine the elements of music and How to start up and run your own business. Now with an international word-of-mouth reputation Mr Gwynne has been flown around the world in order to teach his pupils. And thanks to the internet and Skype he has sometimes found himself at different times in a single day teaching children and adults as far apart as in India in Europe and in western USA.
