About this product

Product Information

Quip like a quill driver, banter like a bitch booby and swear like a shabbaroon with the help of this illustrated dictionary of long-lost words and phrases. This carefully compiled volume contains the most amusing and imaginative vocabulary from the murky Middle English of Chaucer right up to the most eloquent but equally obscure parlances of the early 1900s-essential for all lovers of weird and wonderful wordage! AUTHOR: Elanor Clarke grew up by the Thames, surrounded by Southern slang and the Estuary accent. She now lives in Brighton with her partner and their cat, Willow, and when she isn't writing she is often curled up with a good book or on the hunt for literary treasures, old and new. b/w illustrations
