Reviews

Previous praise for David Crystal:
Crystal's book is full of distractions and delights
*Daily Express*

Refreshing and briskly written ... Crystal shows that grammar is not nearly as tedious as it can seem
*Sunday Times*

If the history of language is a sort of labyrinth, David Crystal is an excellent guide
*The Age, Australia*

Delicious revelations ... Crystal does an excellent job, not just of tracing the etymology of a word, but of relating it to social history, painting a picture of our times through words
*Independent on Sunday*
