Product Description:
Anyone interested in language would enjoy this witty book. Or, anyone really interested the origins of words and phrases would enjoy this book! It goes quite in depth using text from the Bible, Shakespeare and James Joyce to name a few selections. Those who fancy their vocabulary to be proficient will be humbled with the array of words in this wee tome. The author has a funny take on what could have been rather stuffy in its presentation. Literary minds would certainly enjoy this read, but it could be beneficial to high school and college students to build their wordly repertoire! ~ Sara
