Prose & Cons: The English Language in Just A Minute by Gyles Brandreth is a witty, lively celebration of the English language and the art of speaking on the spot. Drawing on the spirit of the classic game Just a Minute, it offers readers clever observations, playful wordplay, and sharp insights into how language works in everyday life.
Part entertaining read, part language love letter, this book is ideal for anyone who enjoys humour, public speaking, trivia, or the quirks of English usage. With Brandreth’s trademark charm, it makes language feel fun, accessible, and wonderfully human.
