Mark Forsyth’s The Etymologicon will be BBC Radio4’s Book of the Week in the week before Christmas.

The five 15-minute excerpts of the book will be read by comedian Hugh Dennis, left, and will begin at 9.45am on Monday 19th December (and then repeated at 12.30am each day too), with the last piece on 23rd December.

The Radio Times features the programme as number 1 in their selection of radio ‘Christmas crackers’ this year in the special bumper Christmas edition of the magazine. And you can listen again to Mark Forsyth talk about his book on Radio 4’s Loose Ends programme yesterday here – he’s on at 17.40.
