Description

A unique and fascinating collection of collective nouns has been compiled by James Lipton. From "a leap of leopards" to "a murder of crows", these terms add colour and interest to our language. With over 1,100 resurrected or newly minted contributions, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the English language. Lipton's research has uncovered a wide range of collective nouns, each with its own unique character. This compendium brings together many of these terms, providing a comprehensive overview of the linguistic species that are "a slouch of models", "a shrivel of critics", and "a blur of Impressionists". For those looking to explore the full range of English language collective nouns, this book is an excellent starting point.
