Available Copies Details Synopsis

Together in one volume Susan Kelz Sperling's delightful excursions into the English language: Poplollies & Bellibones and Tenderfeet & Ladyfingers. The first explores its most remote corners to rediscover long-lost verbal gems, such as liripoop, poopnoddy and squeck. The second looks at the most familiar of all territories, our own bodies, delving into the surprising derivations and histories of phrases like to give someone the cold shoulder or the walls have ears. In short, here is a treasure trove for word lovers a perfect diversion for a winter's night or a summer's afternoon, an eyewitching volume bursting with fellowfeeling.
