brand-new tour of the joys of the English language with 'Britain's best-loved wordsmith'
Following on from her hit show 'The Secret Life of Words', Susie Dent is back with a brand-new collection of facts and stories from the wonderful world of words. Have you ever wondered whether there's a word for going to the fridge for the umpteenth time in search of something new? Or puzzled over the reason why a group of crows is called a 'murder', while owls form a 'parliament'? Is teen slang actually designed to make us tear our hair out? And just how many words do we need for being drunk?
With the help of funny, insightful, and head-scratching examples, Susie will entertain and educate us with her pick of language's greatest hits. Word Perfect will remind us just how unpredictable, wayward, and utterly magical our mother tongue can be.
