The Illustrated Etymologicon A Circular Stroll Through the Hidden Connections of the English Language

The Illustrated Etymologicon A Circular Stroll Through the Hidden Connections of the English Language by Mark Forsyth, published by Icon Books in 2021.

A NEW, BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED HARDBACK EDITION OF THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER, PUBLISHED ON ITS TENTH ANNIVERSARY. 'Witty and erudite ... stuffed with the kind of arcane information that nobody strictly needs to know, but which is a pleasure to learn nonetheless.' Nick Duerden, Independent. 'Particularly good ... Forsyth takes words and draws us into their, and our, murky history.' William Leith, Evening Standard. The Etymologicon is an occasionally ribald, frequently witty and unerringly erudite guided tour of the secret labyrinth that lurks beneath the English language.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves art and design.
