From the Publisher

Games for language lovers: learn and have fun
In this book I've created a sequence of games that all teach the reader something about language, from how we get our idioms and expressions from the land and the sea to Inky Pinky and Fictionary to how classical roots combine to form English words. No jumblewords or scramblegrams here -- all the games raise the reader's knowledge of our marvelous English language. All answers are in the book.
