About the Author:
Derived from the original Victorian work, Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, the scope of this book has been expanded substantially by J C Cooper, author and lecturer in philosophy, comparitive religion, and symbolism, to encompass cultures other than the Greek and Roman classics on which Brewer based his epic work.
