Synopsis
This extensive guide to reading and speaking was written by a leading elocutionist of the 19th century, and features a wealth of meticulously detailed instructions and abundant examples. It begins with an examination of the elementary sounds of the English language, and the way the human voice produces them. The author pays particular attention to the distinction between vowels and consonants, and offers groundbreaking insights on how to distinguish them. Through the author's guidance, readers will learn to properly articulate the sounds in both prose and poetry, and gain an understanding of how these sounds come together to form words.

About the Author
John Hall can still remember the first book he ever read. It was Harry The Dirty Dog. Since that day, he's always loved reading. When he was in fifth grade, he decided he was going to be a writer when he grew up and wrote his first novel, The Mystery of the Leopard's Eyes (unfortunately, it was never published and to this day, still sits in his desk drawer). But years later he did become a published author. John grew up in Brooklyn, with a younger brother and twenty-one cousins (yes, 21!), but now lives in New York City.
