Lauded for her eloquence, observation, and wry humor, Jane Austen was a novelist who was highly regarded and greatly celebrated in her own time. However, her appeal is as great as ever, and her insights remain as fresh and relevant today as when they were first published. This delightful volume offers thematic extracts from fiction and correspondence, featuring quotes from such novels as Emma, Northanger Abbey, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Persuasion, alongside extracts from Austen's letters to her sister and confidante, Cassandra. Containing a host of quotations displaying Austen's sharp—indeed, often wicked—wit, this wonderful treasury will be enjoyed by fans of the author as well as readers who are new to her writing.

She Said: Witty Words from Wise Women

She Said is a wonderful celebration of the wit and wisdom of women through the ages. In it you’ll find writers, artists, politicians, actors, musicians, fashionistas, from Sappho to Beyoncé and Dorothy Parker to Carrie Fisher, all of whom have two things in common: brilliant minds and barbed wits that sting with their precision. Featuring women from as far back as 700 BC and right up to the modern day, the quotations and classic one-liners found here will inspire and delight, whether they are cheeky retorts from the outspoken, barbed reflections from the thoughtful or righteous indignation from the slighted. In the words of Elizabeth von Arnim (1866–1941), "A woman's tongue is a deadly weapon and the most difficult thing in the world to keep in order."

- In the light of the war against Iraq, and of fears of widespread terrorist action, Churchill has been, and continues to be, repeatedly invoked or quoted by Western leaders- A lively and accessible biographical assessment of Churchill the man, Churchill the leader, and Churchill the wit

Winston Churchill

Historical

Have you ever heard a politician be a little economical with the truth? Or had to relay the sad news that old Uncle Geoffrey, ever the keen sportsman, has in fact now kicked the bucket? Funnily enough, these strange phrases are completely comprehensible to us - such is the power of euphemisms and the extent to which they are now subsumed into our everyday language. But where did they come from originally, and for just how long have we been colouring and shrouding our speech with them? In Other Words explains just that, wittily describing the history, origin and clever common usage of our favourite euphemistic phrases.

Sir Winston Churchill remains a British hero, lauded for his oratorical skill. He wrote histories, biographies, memoirs, and even a novel, while his journalism, speeches and broadcasts run to millions of words. Perfect for fans of the film Darkest Hour. From 1940 he inspired and united the British people and guided their war effort. Behind the public figure, however, was a man of vast humanity and enormous wit. His most famous speeches and sayings have passed into history but many of his aphorisms, puns and jokes are less well-known. This enchanting collection brings together hundreds of his wittiest remarks as a record of all that was best about this endearing, conceited, talented and wildly funny Englishman, and is perfect for fans of the film Darkest Hour.
