The funniest and most common mistakes, misunderstandings and misheard phrases in the English language
The English language can be very confusing. But it’s not rocket surgery. Damp Squids and Card Sharks is a fascinating suppository of false facts and common errors, a minefield of information.

Have we wetted your appetite? Peaked your interest? Are you waiting with baited breath? Or could you care less? Pull your socks together! For all intensive purposes, this is the book for you.

This cute, funny book features gorgeous illustrations alongside the 50 amusing malapropisms, mixed metaphors and mondegreens. In one foul swoop you'll learn why so many people get muddled by the same phrases!

Robert Anwood is the author of the bestselling Bears Can’t Run Downhill and Emus Can’t Walk Backwards. His hobbies include going to the pub and arguing. Robert is the keyboard player with the UK band Jody and the Jerms.
