Book Description

The quaint Christmas Village known as Pointsettia Point resides within a snow globe of sort - a climate-controlled bubble that keeps the environment pleasantly perfect for the Yuletide tourist crowd. Angel, the daughter of the village's resident Santa Claus, teaches Ornithology and music at the College of Christmas Knowledge. Her most popular course is the Birds of Christmas, a study of the 23 birds given as gifts in the song "The Twelve days of Christmas." Angel's boyfriend, Ebenezer is infuriated when the town's vehement climate activist mayer, Glacier, slaps a tax on his heating shop, Lump of Coal, for selling coal-burning furnaces. The happy holiday season takes a turn for the worst when a dead body is discovered at the foot of the town's iconic Pear Tree that is the focal point of the popular "Twelve Days of Christmas Drive Through Exhibit." Everyone is a suspect! Can Angel solve the mystery and save Christmas for Poinsetta Point, or will its citizens all find a lumps of coal in their stockings?

Book Description

For years wordsmith and punster Richard Lederer has charmed and delighted fans with his bestselling "Anguished English" series. In his funniest book yet, readers will again cherish the author's latest chronicle of the goofs and gaffes and fluffs and flubs of our anguished language. And the best part? Everything in here actually occurred! Nothing has been made up! Bloopers from foreign restaurants include: * "Our wines leave you nothing to hope for." * "As for the tripe served here, you will be singing its praises to your grandchildren on your deathbed." Excerpts from students' twisted history papers include: * "World War I made the people so sad that it brought on the Great Depression." * "America was founded by four fathers. Delegates from the original 13 states formed the Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Decoration of Independence, which says that all men are cremated equal and are well endowed by their creator." Hilarious illustrations by Jim McLean make The Bride of Anguished English the perfect book for anyone who loves English with all its blunders and bloopers and quips and quirks.
