About this title

Synopsis

Boxed gift set containing two volumes:

Foyle's Philavery: The word 'philavery' was specially invented to describe this book - a collection of words chosen simply on the grounds of their aesthetic appeal. Some of these words appeal because of their aptness, some for their obscurity, some for their euphony, and some for their quirkiness. As a collection they will be a delight to all word lovers.

Foyle's Further Philavery: For nearly twenty years, Christopher Foyle has been collecting interesting and unusual words, ancient and modern. This ever-growing collection evolved into the acclaimed Foyle's Philavery, now followed by Foyle's Further Philavery - another charming anthology of linguistic treasures. This celebration of fascinating words, chosen for their aptness, obscurity, quirkiness or euphony, will delight all logophiles and bibliomaniacs.
