Idiomantics is a unique exploration of the world of idiomatic phrases. The very etymology of the word ”idiom” reveals what”s so endlessly fascinating about the wide range of colourful phrases we use in everyday speech: their peculiarity.

Idiomantics explains all…
The ideal gift for word buffs and in fact, anyone who enjoys a good yarn, this playful book looks at 12 groups of idioms around the world, looking at subjects such as fun and games, gastronomic delights and the daily grind.
