Collective nouns... undoubtably one of the finest quirks of the English language, alongside silent letters and misplaced commas.
We might not know exactly who decided that there should be a
fluffle of bunnies or a
glaring of cats, or who signed off on the prickle of porcupines, but we are very sure that they got them all spot on. Not only that, but life feels much fuller knowing that we're only one accidental encounter away from a
waddle of penguins or a
caravan of camels. If you're anything like us, you'll love flicking through this little book of collective nouns with a morning cuppa, or on the loo. So, whichever it is, sit back and enjoy the beautifully descriptive, imaginative, cute and frankly bizarre peculiarities of the good old English language.
