A charming modern miscellany for lovers of language, Foyle's Further Philavery gathers together another eclectic assortment of unusual, curious, and delightfully obscure words and phrases selected by Christopher Foyle. Continuing the tradition of literary browsing and lexical enthusiasm associated with the famous Foyles bookshop family, the volume offers a witty and engaging celebration of the richness and eccentricity of the English language, presented in an attractive and highly readable format.
