''Susie Dent is a one-off. She breathes life and fun into words and language'' Pam Ayres
''Susie Dent is a national treasure'' Richard Osman
Welcome to a year of wonder with Susie Dent, lexicographer, logophile, and longtime queen of Countdown''s Dictionary Corner.
From the real Jack the Lad to the theatrically literal story behind stealing someone''s thunder, from tartle (forgetting someone''s name at the very moment you need it) to snaccident (the unintentional eating of an entire packet of biscuits), WORD PERFECT is a brilliant linguistic almanac full of unforgettable stories, fascinating facts, and surprising etymologies tied to every day of the year. You''ll never be lost for words again.
Get Word Perfect by Susie Dent at the best price and quality guaranteed only at Werezi Africa's largest book ecommerce store. The book was published by John Murray Press and it has 416 pages.
