Gwynne’s Grammar: The Ultimate Introduction to Grammar and the Writing of Good
English
N.M. Gwynne
Gwynne sums up the very real importance of correct grammar usage in our lives. But currently, correct
grammar usage is slipping from the grasp of the technology saturated English speaking world.
Consequently, Mr. Gwynne believes we must reverse this terrible trend before it’s too late!
Formerly a successful businessman, Mr. Gwynne has for many years been teaching and tutoring a
multitude of varying subjects to a multitude of varying students. His teaching methods are traditional and
common-sense, methods refined over the centuries but becoming outmoded in the 1960’s globally and certainly in
Australia in the 1970’s. This downward trend led the intrepid Mr. Gwynne to write this marvellous book, having discovered
that nothing else as succinct and accessible existed.
This edition also includes Strunk's classic guide to style, explaining how to write well and the main pitfalls to avoid. This
book should not only be on every home library shelf, but on the shelves of every English speaking educational institution
and business place globally.

Gwynne’s Latin: The Ultimate Introduction to Latin Including the Latin in Everyday
English
N.M. Gwynne
Gwynne is as mesmerised about Latin as he is English grammar! And so he should be: for not only is the
study of Latin, well, to be honest, quite addictive, Latin stands as a powerhouse in the history of
language. It is the direct ancestor of the five most widely-spoken of the Romance European languages,
and both of the official South American languages. It is also the ancestor and source of more than half of
the English language.
Written for people of all standards – whether beginners or advanced - Gwynne’s Latin is essential for
anyone interested in learning Latin. Mr. Gwynne promises to teach you more Latin in half an hour than you would learn
from years of being taught Latin at school. He also includes a fascinating section on everyday Latin usage, which
discusses all the Latin words and idioms we still use today, such as quid pro and habeas corpus. So plunge into the
language which for over one thousand years united the whole of Europe culturally, and be rest assured, with Mr. Gwynne
you are in safe hands!
