5.0 out of 5 stars For lovers of the origin of English words, a must read!, February 27, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Poplollies and Bellibones: A Celebration of Lost Words (Paperback)
Who knew that the original word for "freckles" was "murfles?"
And do you know why a pretty girl was called a "bellibone?"
If you love words and their origins, this book is a gem! My copy got tossed out in a move years ago, yet I still can recall many "obsolete" words (the comical illustrations help)! Sometimes the obsolete definition makes more sense than the modern. For instance, doesn't "flutterby" make more sense than "butterfly?"
