Euphonics: a Poet's Dictionary of Sounds

Do particular sounds have particular magical effects? This is the age old question first raised by Plato, and wittily discussed in this little book by renowned author and philosopher John Michell. Learn in these pages about the deadly daggers of D, the trivialising teasing taunts of T and the nagging nasal negatives associated with N. Essential for orators, poets and sorcerers, this is a beautiful book, humorously illustrated throughout by "Guardian" cartoonist, Merrily Harpur.
