The Devil's Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce
Bierce's dictionary, first published in 1906 as 'The Cynics Word Book', brought his biting black humour to bear on spoof definitions of everyday words. Over 100 years later, Bierces redefinitions still give us pause for thought making for a timely new edition of this irreverent and provocative satire.
Ambrose Bierce (1842 – c.1914) was an American short story writer, journalist, poet and Civil War veteran. John Simpson is the Chief Editor of the Oxford English Dictionary.
