Let's parler Franglais!

‘A true comic genius’Ian Hislop

‘Ridiculously funny’Joanna Lumley

Bonjour toutes les personnes! Welcome to the wonderful world of Franglais.

The trouble with French is that there are far too few English words in it. Miles Kington – the critic, columnist, and creator of Franglais – puts that right. His magnificent new language can be understood by almost anyone who failed GCSE French. If you passed GCSE French it could be tricky, but do try anyway.

So achetez! Lisez! Et enjoy! Merci beaucoup.

‘What a truly gifted, consistently funny writer’Maureen Lipman

‘Utterly charming and extremely funny’ Independent

Miles Kington was one of Britain’s most renowned and best loved journalists. Born in County Down, he grew up in Wales and was educated in Scotland, which was all a big mistake as he was actually English. A presenter, playwright, polymath and wit, he wrote columns for The Times, the Independent, Punch and The Oldie. His other acclaimed titles include Someone Like Me, How Shall I Tell the Dog? and The Franglais Lieutenant’s Woman.
