Cloth. Condición: Fine. First Edition. Almost every family has them: sayings that are a kind of private language and which, in many cases, continue in use across the generations. These family sayings are unique and are often impenetrable to outsiders. But there is also a rich vein of domestic catch-phrase that is common to many families, and it is both these types of family sayings that Nigel Rees celebrates in As We Say In Our House. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, but especially on family sayings contributed to his BBC Radio programme Quote.Unquote, Nigel Rees provides a shamelessly nostalgic and warmly humorous recod of an area of language that would otherwise go largely unrecorded. The popular exprssions here explored also include personal mottoes, peculiar proverbs, nonsensical riddles and 'nannyisms'. It is a book that proves once again that there is nothing quite so entertaining as the folklore of everyday life and the language we use to express it.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
