Download or read book Pearls of the English Language written by Peter Harvey and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-28 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lavengro Books Pearls are concentrated units of concise information. Each Pearl contains a point about the English language in a short form (average about 75 words) that is easy to assimilate and remember. The Pearls contrast with and complement the detailed descriptions contained in A Guide to English Language Usage. There's always a place for a large, detailed reference book that covers everything you might possibly want to know about the English language. But there's a place too for a small book that presents the basic points in a way that is short, simple and easy to remember. That is how Peter Harvey's Pearls of the English Language differs from his A Guide to English Language Usage. Each of its short articles covers a specific point in a way that is intended to be striking and easy to remember. The book is deliberately made to be small, light and affordable. How to write dates, when to double consonants, how to use 'have', verb tenses and forms, the use of capital letters, irregular plurals, the English names of chess pieces, 'any-' forms, rise and raise - these and many more tricky points of language usage are presented concisely and accurately. Pearls of the English Language cannot include all the details and exceptions and it is not intended to do so. What it does, and does well, is give enough facts to jog a memory that can't always remember all the basic information. It would also make an excellent last-minute revision tool before an exam, when basic knowledge has to be crammed into the memory. The Pearls contrast with and complement the detailed descriptions contained in A Guide to English Language Usage, also by Peter Harvey.

Download or read book The Book of Pearl written by Timothée de Fombelle and published by Candlewick Press. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In prose as magical and intricate as the tale it tells, Timothée de Fombelle delivers an unforgettable story of a first love that defines a lifetime. Joshua Pearl comes from a world that we no longer believe in — a world of fairy tale. He knows that his great love waits for him there, but he is stuck in an unfamiliar time and place — an old-world marshmallow shop in Paris on the eve of World War II. As his memories begin to fade, Joshua seeks out strange objects: tiny fragments of tales that have already been told, trinkets that might possibly help him prove his own story before his love is lost forever. Sarah Ardizzone and Sam Gordon translate the original French into a work both luminous and layered, enabling Timothée de Fombelle’s modern fairy tale to thrum with magic. Brimming with romance and history, mystery and adventure, this ode to the power of memory, storytelling, and love will ensnare any reader’s imagination, and every reader’s heart.
