Susie Dent is probably better know as the Countdown lexicographer.

The woman in the Dictionary corner of the same show.

So it's no surprise that this is a book about, well, words, and where they come from.

Or, perhaps more precisely, the origins of common phrases we all use, to the best of current belief (some are still unknown).

So one of those books you read for entertainment and knowledge, really, instead of for the plot!
