Matthew Richardson in The Spectator adds his voice to the growing chorus of approval for Mark Forsyth’s The Etymologicon.

He ends his review – which you can read in full here – with:

‘The snappy section lengths and the perky writing style, plus the comely jacket-less cover, makes this prime fare for the Christmas market. You can read it through at a sitting or two, or dip in as fancy takes. A perfect bit of stocking-filler for the bookish member of the family, or just a cracking all-year-round read. Highly recommended.’
