Dictionary of Idioms by L Flavell

Dictionary of Idioms by L Flavell

The English language contains a great store of idioms that can be used in creative and forceful ways. This book examines over 400 phrases, tracing each one's source and history through a supply of examples. Mini-essays scattered through the book expand on such broader themes as "What is an idiom?"; "National Rivalries" and "The Old Curiosity Shop of Linguistics."

Linda and Roger Flavell studied the oddities of the English language for over 25 years. Linda has worked as a writer and as an English teacher both in England and overseas and has co-authored several dictionaries of etymologies for Kyle Books. The late Roger also travelled widely and was a Lecturer in Education at the Institute of Education, University of London. Their books include A Dictionary of English Down the Ages, Dictionary of Word Origins and Dictionary of Proverbs and Their Origins.Linda and Roger Flavell studied the oddities of the English language for over 25 years.
