Synopsis:
Long established as the ultimate reference for anyone with an interest in the English language, Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable features tens of thousands of encyclopedic entries examining the origins and significance of popular words, phrases, allusions and cultural references. Its delightfully diverse content includes cultural, historical and mythological references, beliefs and customs, proper names, literary characters, idioms and slang. First published in 1870 and now in its 17th edition, this ever-popular collection has moved with the times to include such up-to-date material as Beckingham Palace, Hogwarts and bling alongside wonderful stories from past and present.
About the Author: John Ayto is a writer and lexicographer and the co-author of Brewer's Britain and Ireland (W & N, May 2005). His authorial credits include The Oxford Dictionary of Rhyming Slang and The Bloomsbury Dictionary of Word Origins. He lives in London.
