This creative project attempts to teach the eight parts of speech by using easily-remembered rimes stating the use of each part and appropriate and familiar visual symbols with which each part may be associated.The parts of speech are symbolized by court personalities of the Later Middle Ages. The noun, which names persons, places and things, is represented by the queen, who likewise had the prerogative of naming things; and the pronoun, which takes the place of the noun, is represented by the court minister, who sometimes took the queen's place. The last part, the interjection, which shows strong feeling, is represented by the court jester who laughed and cried at will.All material in the book relates the parts of speech to the addle Ages, and many pictures are used to illustrate the sample sentences.The book is written in first person with each Part of Speech speaking for himself.
