Produktinformationen zu „Dictionary of Proverbs And Their Origins “
Did you know that'if the cap fits'refers to the traditional jester's cap with bells on it - so anyone wearing such a cap could be expected to do something foolish? Or that the ancient Greeks believed that it was camels rather than elephants that never forgot? The Spanish writer Cervantes defined a proverb as'a short sentence drawn from long experience'and Linda and Roger Flavell trace the origins of over 400 of these invaluable pieces of wisdom. The entries are interspersed with mini-essays on such diverse subjects as 'The Proverbial Cynic'and'When there's a R in the Month'. The result is essential reading for anyone who delights in words.
