Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Two delightful excursions into the English language; the former is a rollicking entertainment reflecting the author's longtime passion collecting forgotten gems thatshe then displays in context, staging them in short stories, rounds, verses, and dialogues; the latter title is an absolute delight - a compendium of some one hundred words and phrases incorporating the various parts of the human body, arranged from head to toe, and peppered with fascinating allusions. Bibliography. 266p.
