Reviews
"Kitty Burns Florey seems to write from a great wellspring of inner calm that derives from a gleeful appreciation of life's smallest details." -Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls "This book is not a primer; it's a prize." -Robert Hartwell Fiske, author of The Dictionary of Disagreeable English "A wistful, charming and funny ode to a nearly lost art. Those who remember will cheer. Those who don't will wonder what fun they missed and whether it will be preserved for future generations. All will agree Florey's passion is infectious and entertaining." -June Casagrande, author of Grammar Snobs are Great Big Meanies, "Kitty Burns Florey seems to write from a great wellspring of inner calm that derives from a gleeful appreciation of life's smallest details." -Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author ofEmpire Falls "This book is not a primer; it's a prize." -Robert Hartwell Fiske, author ofThe Dictionary of Disagreeable English "A wistful, charming and funny ode to a nearly lost art.

    Ah, the joys of sentence diagramming!

    I grew up in the age when sentence diagramming was all the rage. We were drilled on it in school. I love working with words and I love the way diagramming breaks down the structure of sentences! This book is a pure delight as it describes the process and the kind of classroom where it was taught. Memories came flooding back as I read the book. What a joy!
