Mostly anecdotal stories and semi-interesting factoids about the 20 most-spoken languages of the world. It does not, as I had wrongfully expected, provide a solid foundation of actually studying any of them.

Exceptionally hilarious take on Lewis Carroll's tale that is sure to serve as the tongue-in-cheek Animal Farm of our time. With such fantastic characters as David Camerabbit, Trumpty Dumpty and the Cheshire Twat, this little book is guaranteed to have you in stitches.
