Great gift idea and an interesting book

Bought this book as a christmas present but ended up keeping it myself! We actually done a quite on some of the sayings to see if people could work out where the saying came from, so much fun

I have bought this as a stocking filler for one of my sons, it is packed with interesting 'useful' information, just up his street,

Very interesting!!

Great book was a much appreciated fun Christmas present.

I think this is a excellent gift to young people so they can understand the meaning of sayings that older generations say and why they were said.

Fantastic book lots of knowledgeable and interesting facts .my niece and I throughly enjoyed reading it .

I’m sure my brother will enjoy this book. A bit pricy for a paper back.

This book isn’t just about idioms; it’s about stories from the past that explain why we say what we do. I found it so interesting to learn that “to run amuck” comes from warriors in Southeast Asia who fought wildly. It makes me appreciate everyday expressions more. Easy to read and full of cool facts, perfect for anyone who loves learning new things.

Lots of interesting and informative fun facts.
