Book Subtitle: The Story of the English Language
Editorial Review: Not only fascinating but extremely funny (Angus Deayton) The sort of linguistics I like, anecdotal, full of revelations, and with not one dull paragraph (Ruth Rendell Sunday Times) A gold mine of language-anecdote, information, curiosity. A suprise on every page... enthralling (Observer) Delightful, amusing and provoking... A joyful celebration of our wonderful language, which is packed with curiosities and enlightenment on every page (Sunday Express) A delightful survey - though with its good humour, wealth of anecdote, and boyish enthusiasm, "romp" would be a better word. (David Crystal)
