'Lexicographer, grammarian, and widely experienced
teacher of Enghsh. Given the extraordinary fact that
A S Hornby was expert at all three and had the flair of
bringing each skill to bear succinctly and
illuminatingly on the others, no one need be surprised
at the superb way the OALDCE anticipates and fulfils
the needs of the student of English.'
