Description

Bertrand Russell's witty and subversive guide to the English alphabet is a delightful satire that pokes fun at pedants and nincompoops alike. With its brief, amusing texts illustrated by Franciszka Themerson, this pocket-sized book is a diverting and entertaining read.

First brought back into print since the 1970s, The Good Citizen's Alphabet features facsimile pages that reproduce the vintage look and feel of the original 1953 publication. A perfect gift for linguistic novices and eloquent eggheads alike, this book is a charming addition to any collection.

With its unique blend of humor and intellectual curiosity, Bertrand Russell's alphabet guide is a must-have for anyone looking to add a touch of whimsy to their reading list.
