After more than sixty years of loving labors in the language vineyards, Richard Lederer will serve up a veritable banquet of words, from a hymn of praise to English to rib-tickling bloopers and puns.

Lederer is a former Concord Monitor language columnist and the author of 60 books about language, history, and humor, including his best-selling Anguished English series and his current title, A Feast of Words. He is a founding co-host of “A Way with Words,” broadcast on public radio.

Lederer has been named International Punster of the Year and is a Toastmasters International Golden Gavel winner.
