Answers to Rhetorical Questions by Caroline Taggart

Answers to Rhetorical Questions by Caroline Taggart

The rhetorical question is one of those grammatical quirks that just doesn't seem to have any logic to it; a question that doesn't require an answer - what kind of question is that? However, now, thanks to Answers to Rhetorical Questions, you will no longer be left in the dark when someone asks you 'what love's got to do with it?', 'what shall we do with the drunken sailor?' or 'who wants to be a millionaire?' All these answers and many more are contained in this playful and informative gift book, which includes: • How long is a piece of string? • 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.

Contains an arsenal of blinding facts (and clever musings) for every rhetorical situation from the Pope's religion to the length of a piece of string * The Daily Mail *
