About the author

Hugh Kellett studied languages at Oxford and has been playing around with words in London advertising agencies most of his life. The humorous potential of the English language has become his abiding passion. Now he turns his wordsmithery to the revelation and preservation of a rather exclusive version of the English language, Posh. The result is a restoration comedy of rumbustious proportions, and a book that will have you laughing out loud.Oliver Preston’s illustrations have been published in The Times, Punch, Cotswold Life and The Independent and he draws regularly for The Field magazine. Oliver’s work has been published in sixteen books, including compilations of his cartoons and he is the current chairman of The Cartoon Museum in London.
