In this quirky and humorous volume, Graeme Donald explores the fascinating links and curious connections between words. While at first these word pairs may appear to have very little in common, owing to years of linguistic shift, their origins can be traced back to the same root. In exploring these etymological twins, 'Words of a Feather' reveals the oddities of the English language and the fascinating stories that have made our vocabulary so rich.
