Tish and Pish: How to Be of a Speakingness Like Stephen Fry: A Delicious Collection of Sumptuous Gorgeosities

by Stewart Ferris

The English tongue has never tasted more delicious than in the mouth of Stephen his chokingly brilliant sesquipedalian prose is like a shaft of sunlight through the drizzle of quotidian language. Now, with this bound monograph, we can all emit a similarly exquisite effulgence and enjoy the bright shaft of Stephen Fry locution in the privacy of our own smallest pavilion. May his shaft continue to pleasure us for many years to come. After all, what could be fluffier?
