The Cask of Amontillado is a well-known short story in the English speaking world, but not so much among non-native speakers, partly because of its formal language that is relatively hard to understand.<br/>The author of this book has selected over 100 words and idioms from the story and explained them in a manner understandable to English learners using unobtrusive annotations within the text itself.<br/>All explained terms are presented with pronunciation in American and British English, and the annotations also contain detailed notes on grammar and spelling.
