A Barrel Full of Words: A Treasury of Wordplay

Rating:
Summary: WHAT FUN!
Review: If you like words-and if you like to laugh-you'll enjoy "A Barrel Full of Words." We are all familiar with such collective nouns as "a pride of lions." Wegryn invents "a complex of psychiatrists" and "a mass of priests." He redefines words: "superintend" could mean "really, really mean to." And he makes us wonder about words: "Why is it father, mother, and brother, but not sisther?" After reading the book, you will find that you begin thinking like the author. You'll play with words and they'll play with you. What fun!
