About the author

Afferbeck Lauder (a syncope for "Alphabetical Order") is a psudonym for Alastair Ardoch Morrison, an Australian writer who gave no clue as to his identity in any of his books.

Lauder's books include: Let Stalk Strine (1965), Nose Tone Unturned (1967), Fraffly Well Spoken (1968) and Fraffly Suite (1969)

In October 2009, Text Publishing Company, Mairlben re-published all four books in an omnibus edition.

Reviews

[Monica · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a intriguing and interesting book, somewhat difficult to read due to the phonetic spelling, which was of course the point! This was a collection of Lauder's work and I enjoyed the "English-Strine" and "English-Faffly" dictionaries.
An entertaining look at language!
