An Apple A Day

Old-Fashioned Proverbs and Why They Still Work

Beschreibung

Proverbs are short, well-known, pithy sayings that offer advice or words of encouragement and are used in everyday English without much thought ever being given to their meanings, or indeed, usefulness. Caroline Taggart explores the truth behind our favourite proverbs, their history and proves that they are as useful today as they ever were.

Following that she was co-author of My Grammar and I (or should that be 'Me'?), and wrote a number of other books about words and English usage.
