By Doris Haggis-on-Whey and Benny Haggis-on-Whey,
and Sister Bernadette's Barking Dog: The Quirky History and Lost Art of Diagramming Sentences, by Kitty Burns Florey
And then by way of Internet diversion - English as She Is Spoke: Being a Comprehensive Phrasebook of the English Language, Written by Men to Whom English was Entirely Unknown , by José da Fonseca, Pedro Carolino, Paul Collins (Editor)
