The Dictionary of Posh: Incorporating the Fall and Rise of the Pails-Hurtingseaux Family

English

By (author): Mr Hugh Kellett

Illustrated by: Oliver Preston

Hidden within normal English is a separate language still spoken by those born with silver spoons in their mouths. Its called Posh. A word of English can be spelt the same but mean something completely different in Posh. If you say the word Mention in English, people will understand Remark upon; but in Posh this means a large house. Say Ace and speakers of Posh will think you are referring to a cold thing ones butler puts in a G&T. Hugh Kellett hilariously captures the spirit and nuances of those who speak Posh and, allied with Oliver Prestons brilliantly accurate cartoons, this book is the key to understanding and interpreting this language literally with tongue-in-cheek.

About Mr Hugh Kellett

Hugh Kellett studied languages at Oxford and has been playing around with words in London advertising agencies most of his life. The humorous potential of the English language has become his abiding passion. Now he turns his wordsmithery to the revelation and preservation of a rather exclusive version of the English language Posh. The result is a restoration comedy of rumbustious proportions and a book that will have you laughing out loud. Oliver Prestons illustrations have been published in The Times Punch Cotswold Life and The Independent and he draws regularly for The Field magazine. Olivers work has been published in sixteen books including compilations of his cartoons and he is the current chairman of The Cartoon Museum in London.
