I would like to find the grammar book we used for French Grammar at A level in the 90s - but it was old-fashioned even then. It was small with a blue hardback cover and I thought it was called Whitakkers but apparently not. I think it might have been a surname though. I would love to find it again partly for the grammar, partly for the nostalgia!
