«Mondegreens: A Book of Mishearings» is the humor book by Jacquie Wines, published by Michael O'Mara Books in hardcover (176 pages, in English).
A mondegreen is a word or phrase that is misheard, especially in song lyrics, poems and conversations. The book explains the origin of the term, coined in 1954, and collects famous and absurd examples: from The Beatles lyrics understood backwards to confusing phone calls to a hospital.
Will appeal to fans of the English language and wordplay based on auditory misunderstandings.
