Description

VINTAGE BOOK - PHRASE & WORD ORIGINS A Study of family expressions by Alfred H. Holt

A most entertaining book about words and phrases, their unexpected origins and their colourful histories. Although it is based upon great lexicographic erudition and sound scholarship, it is unusual in being written primarily for the layman, with an easy exposition and feeling for folk-humor that is rare in etymology.

Paperback 1961 In very good used condition. Happy to combine postage on any of my listings.
