Even better, how do these words change as they travel across our regions?In a joyful journey through a year of weird words and fantastic phrases, one of the nation''s favourite wordsmiths takes a tour of the British Isles and all its vernacular idiosyncrasies, as well as reflecting on the joys of English, in a delightful book for anyone who loves language - whether following its rules or breaking them!
