Unlock a whole new side to language in this abundant literary adventure. The etymological route, definition and word origin are explored for four words from every letter of the alphabet, unlocking over 100 wonderful word tales. One word per letter is brought to life with an extended poem that can be read or enjoyed aloud, making this a wonderful book to read alone or share with friends and family.
