Sissy
An utter delight. Great book.

Some are a bit dodgy, but that's par for the course in this arena. Again, get the book for further elucidation – it has a connection to the creators of the Oxford English Dictionary.

Spoiled slightly by the damage to the book cover Language is assessible. A real achievement. Well written.
