Little Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs features over 2,000 proverbs
and sayings from around the world, arranged across 250 subjects -
from 'Books' and 'Borrowing' to 'Dreams' and 'Drink'. Each theme
has a short introduction giving an overview of the proverbial
treatment of the topic and each proverb is accompanied by
information on its date, source, and meaning. Not only is this book
a pleasure to browse but it is ideal for quick reference with its
comprehensive index that makes it easy to find the exact phrase
you're looking for. Beautifully produced and designed, it is the
perfect gift for anyone who loves language. Drawing on Oxford's
ongoing dictionary research and language monitoring, the second
edition of this delightful book adds phrases that have come to
prominence, or increased in popularity, since publication of the
first edition, such as 'Never waste a good crisis' and 'Dress for
the job you want, not for the job you have', which add a
contemporary flavour to the selection of more traditional English
proverbs, and the popular sayings used in the English-speaking
world from Asia, Africa, Middle East, and many other cultures. Find
phrases on all aspects of life in this fascinating little book.
