  • "Wherever you go in the English-speaking world, there are linguistic riches from times past awaiting rediscovery. All you have to do is choose a location, find some old documents, and dig a little. In this book, linguistics expert Professor David Crystal collects together delightful dialect words that either provide an insight into an older way of life, or simply have an irresistible phonetic appeal. Like a mirror image of 'The Meaning of Liff' that just happens to be true, this book unearths some lovely old gems of the English language, dusts them down and makes them live again for a new generation."
