The Author of this workbook, George Fain, is a logophile* - a Lover of Words - and in this
charming booklet he introduces young people to the delight of expressing
oneself beyond the mundane.
At first he
cheerily lists dozens of examples of a series of popular writing expressions, from
Allegory through Hyperbole and on to Syllogism. Then he explains how to write
freely from ones own imagination, using descriptive words fluently and with great
amusement. 
To Fain, writing can be the greatest fun and reading his surrealistic
pirate adventure stories shows how free one’s imagination can be. Give this
book to your favorite youngster and inspire them to expand into imaginative
writing instead of texting in dull shorthand.
