Want something to really grab your attention? Something to while away the cold, wet winter nights with? Something that'll have you reaching for the dictionary with an eager interest and a keen delight? You could do a lot worse than treat yourself to a copy of this wonderful flight of imagination.

Go on - expand your mind and your vocabulary, and revel in the exercise!!
