Who was SWEET FANNY ADAMS?


What''s the dramatic true story behind STEALING THUNDER?


Why is it CHANCING YOUR ARM when you take a risk?


What do bears have to do with LICKING INTO SHAPE?


Or robbers with PULLING SOMEONE''S LEG?


Why are CIRCLES VICIOUS?


And, what''s so bad about a WHITE ELEPHANT?


''Nobody on earth knows more about the English language than Susie Dent'' Gyles Brandreth
