I DON’T profess to have a fatidical ability, but I reckon this gem of a book will make an excellent Christmas stocking filler.

Of course, I could be accused of being flexamanious, but in my defence I am happy to declare the work is anything but desipient, fribble – or ketty even.

If you don’t believe me or want to know what the heck I’m on about, then I suggest you get hold of a copy of Over Kellet author Neil Johnson’s highly informative and entertaining book of rarely used words.

Trust me, I am no bedidder.
