| 1 | A Living Grammar | 1939 | Winifred Watson | Buy |
A Living Grammar is Winifred Watson’s only non-fiction work, published in 1939. It sits between Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (1937) and her final novel Leave and Bequeath (1943), and shows a different side of her interests. The book is a grammar guide, practical and instructional rather than literary.
It is a curiosity more than anything else today, but it reflects Watson’s skill with language from a technical angle. Readers interested in Watson’s complete bibliography will want to know about it, even if Miss Pettigrew remains the main reason people seek out her work.
