A question that doesn't require an answer - what kind of question is that?

The rhetorical question is one of those grammatical quirks that just doesn't seem to have any logic to it. However, now, thanks to Answers to Rhetorical Questions, you will no longer be left in the dark when someone asks you 'What's love got to do with it?', 'What shall we do with the drunken sailor?' or 'Who wants to be a millionaire?'

From the most profound questions of philosophy to queries of geography, science and string length, this playful book is full of information you never knew you needed, including: Whose life is it anyway? How much is that doggy in the window? How soon is now? Are you blind?

The days of being baffled and bemused are over thanks to this tongue-in-cheek book that will have its readers not only laughing out loud but perhaps even learning something utterly irrelevant too.

From the most profound questions of philosophy to queries of geography, science and string length, this playful book is full of information you never knew you needed.

About the Author

Following that she was co-author of My Grammar and I (or should that be 'Me'?), and wrote a number of other books about words and English usage. She has appeared frequently on television and on national and regional radio, talking about language, grammar and whether or not Druids Cross should have an apostrophe.
