Join Susie Dent, lexicographer extraordinaire and Queen of
Countdown's Dictionary Corner, on a curious and exceedingly
interesting adventure through all the very best RED HERRINGS, COCK
AND BULL STORIES and NINE-DAY WONDERS in the English language. 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
