'An informative but highly entertaining journey through the figures of rhetoric Mark Forsyth wears his considerable knowledge lightly. He also writes beautifully.' David Marsh, Guardian In an age unhealthily obsessed with substance, this is a book on the importance of pure style, from the bestselling author of The Etymologicon and The Horologicon. From classic poetry to pop lyrics and from the King James Bible to advertising slogans, Mark Forsyth explains the secrets that make a phrase - such as 'Tiger, Tiger, burning bright', or 'To be or not to be' - memorable.

This memoir which covers six decades of the author's life and career as an art historian was a delight to read. (Don't get me wrong. This is a well researched book, based heavily on Ball's written correspondence, but also based on th
