You May Now Kiss the Dog! by Dee Dee Wilde
Long before Richard Brinsley Sheridan's play The Rivals gave it a name, the malapropism - known to the Irish as coileach focal suas, to the Spanish as palabra polla and to the Australians as verbal cockup - has been an endless source of merriment and not a little confusion. Dancer Dee Dee Wilde, a well-known practitioner of the art of malapropism, now brings us this book of funny, bizarre and often naughty verbal accidents, charmingly illustrated by the author. 'Dee Dee is a malapropist and never ceases to keep me on my toes as I attempt to understand what she is trying to say.' From the Foreword by Henry Marsh
Wilde, Dee Dee: - Dee Dee lives in Wiltshire with her composer husband Henry Marsh and her two dogs Basil and Pickwick. Her inspiration for this book was their original, beloved German Shepherd dog, Uli. She has two children from her previous marriage, Alexander and Poppy, and three stepchildren, Thomas, Oliver and Laura, plus Magnus, her first step-grandchild. Dee Dee was a founder member of the famous '70s TV dance group Pan's People, who appeared on Top of The Pops every week for a decade. She still dances and teaches around the West Country and on line: www.deedeewilde.co.uk + Facebook. This is her second book, the first being Pan's People: Our Story, which she co-wrote with the other members of the group.
