Mark Forsyth 3 Books Collection Set (The Etymologicon, The Elements of Eloquence & Horologicon)

This matching three-book set brings together Mark Forsyth’s playful writing on the English language, presented in editions with new covers. Across the collection, Forsyth highlights the unexpected links between words and the surprising vocabulary that sits behind everyday speech. Within these pages you will find a guided tour of etymological connections, including the relationship between “disgruntled” and “gruntled”, alongside more unlikely pairings such as church organs and organised crime, California and the Caliphate, and brackets and codpieces. The set also includes a “book of hours” that arranges unusual words by the time of day you might need them, with terms for familiar moments from waking up rough to feeling sleepy after lunch.
