From the limerick-pattern of 'Summer is i-cumen in' to Googlewhacking ('a pastime created for idlers with no useful work to do') by way of a speech by Lincoln rewritten without the letter T, this delightful compilation surveys the wonderful world of words and wordplay down the ages. Jim Bernhard (runner-up in the 1950 National Spelling Bee) introduces verbal curiosities and puzzles of all kinds, including anagrams, puns, acrostics, spoonerisms, crosswords, lipograms, nonsense verse and tongue-twisters.
