A nostalgic window into the Great British Summertime during WWII
Caroline Taggart worked in publishing as an editor of popular
non-fiction for 30 years before being asked by Michael O'Mara Books
to write I USED TO KNOW THAT, which became a Sunday Times
bestseller. Following that she co-wrote MY GRAMMAR AND I (OR SHOULD
THAT BE 'ME'?) As a result of these books and HER LADYSHIP'S GUIDE
TO THE QUEEN'S ENGLISH, published by Batsford, she has appeared
frequently on BBC Breakfast and on national and regional radio,
talking about language, grammar and Pythagoras's theorem. Her
record is 16 radio interviews in one day on the subject of
exclamation marks.
Her other books include THE BOOK OF ENGLISH PLACE NAMES, THE BOOK
OF LONDON PLACE NAMES, HOW TO GREET THE QUEEN (AND OTHER QUESTIONS
OF MODERN ETIQUETTE) and A SLICE OF BRITAIN: AROUND THE COUNTRY BY
CAKE which The Sunday Times described as 'engaging, greedy and
droll'. Since then she has reverted to words, with 500 WORDS YOU
SHOULD KNOW, NEW WORDS FOR OLD and her current project,
MISADVENTURES IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, due in autumn 2016. The
latest in her 'Her Ladyship' series for Batsford is HER LADYSHIP'S
GUIDE TO THE ART OF CONVERSATION. Her website is
carolinetaggart.co.uk and you can follow her on Twitter
@citaggart.
