A Date with Language by David Crystal

A Date with Language by David Crystal

A collection of 366 witty and fascinating facts, events and stories about language, for every day of the year (with one extra for leap years).

‘I use it as a reference book when I need a quick reminder of some aspect of something I’d once learned but long since forgotten, but more often I read it for the pleasure of it, as each entry is a magnificent tiny work of artNot a single word was penned in haste, you can feel it as you read and it seems to slow the world down a beat.’ -- Gretchen Bakke * publicbooks.org *
