Join Susie Dent, lexicographer extraordinaire and Queen of Countdown''s Dictionary Corner, on a curious and exceedingly interesting adventure through all the very best RED HERRINGS, COCK AND BULL STORIES and NINE-DAY WONDERS in the English language.
Who was SWEET FANNY ADAMS?
What''s the dramatic true story behind STEALING THUNDER?
Why is it CHANCING YOUR ARM when you take a risk?
What do bears have to do with LICKING INTO SHAPE?
Or robbers with PULLING SOMEONE''S LEG?
Why are CIRCLES VICIOUS?
And, what''s so bad about a WHITE ELEPHANT?
''Nobody on earth knows more about the English language than Susie Dent'' Gyles Brandreth
