Tom Read Wilson is here to take us on a rip-roaring tour through
some of the most astonishing and amusing words in the English
language with Every Word Tells a Story. See how the English
language evolved in this extraordinary exploration of the origins
of everyday words. Full of funny stories and fascinating facts, Tom
Read Wilson knows even the most ordinary-sounding word can have the
most surprising story behind it! Did you know, for instance, that:
The word 'bloomers' comes from Amelia Bloomer, who was a women's
rights activist and owner and editor of the first U.S. newspaper
edited by and for women, who wanted to move more freely in her
knickers? Or that the word 'daisy' comes from the Old English
daeges eage, meaning 'day's eye', because the petals of a daisy
open at dawn and close at dusk? The word 'easel' comes from the
Dutch word 'ezel', meaning donkey, because both are depenable and
suitable for carrying a load? Or that English nicknames for police
officers, 'bobbies' and 'peelers', both come from the names of Sir
Robert Peel, British prime minister in the 1800s and creator of the
first modern police force? Each fascinating word is explored
through a quirky, amusing story alongside the etymology, word
origin and definition. Paired with beautiful, characterful
illustrations by Ian Morris, Every Word Tells a Story is a perfect
book for young wordsmiths, encouraging kids and adults alike to
have fun whilst learning about language.
