A pedant' s apology, or why I wrote this book
The ape that writes sentences, or why word order is (almost) everything
Nouns versus verbs, or how to bring a sentence to life, but not too much
Nothing like a windowpane, or how to say wondrous things with plain words
The high-wire act, or how to write long and legato without running out of breath
Foolish like a trout, or how to join sentences together with invisible thread
A small, good thing, or why a sentence should be a gift to the world.
