Description
English may well be the most widely spoken language in the world but what exactly do we mean when we talk about 'the English language'? The Queen's English is the perfect guide to understanding what makes the English tick. From cricket to chips, the jumble sale to the white van man, Moore casts a quizzical eye over English passions and concern and considers the influence on the language of English writers from Chaucer to Wodehouse, exposing the intriguing stories behind the language.
