"Brighter French: Colloquial and Idiomatic, for Bright Young People (who already know some)" - "" ("Russell Harry Thompson")(Paperback)

"A witty highly praised guide to idiomatic French written in 1927 by a remarkable author identified for decades only as 'H-T-R-'
French on the left side, English on the right side, and extremely funny. With original llustrations by Eric Fraser, one of the leading illustrators of the 20th Century.
"H-T-R- doesn't just want you to parrot French phrases. The essential of fluent speech is to think as the French do. As he says, it won't do just to formulate in English what you want to say and then utter a translation. Those who have reached a good level in French (or, indeed, any language) will recognize the hurdle of idiomaticity - the native speakers always have a way of saying things which is different from your correct but painfully generated French." - Elsevier SYSTEM MAGAZINE (2010), Robert Vanderplank, Director, Language Centre, University
