Reviews
In these short, investigative essays, Thomas explores words' origins and historical transformations, remarks on words he considers particularly likable or deplorable, and muses on the probable development of a universal language. According to PW , "Thomas's gentle ruminations will be enjoyed by those who share his etymological enchantment."
