Some of them I understood some I didn'tI hated the history of the phrase but I did not know that's what happened in the past to me the book can be abit dark when reading about the history Jacqueline

Got this for my father who is in his 70's and bored. It's not reading that you have to really concentrate on. Quick little blurbs about sayings we've all heard and wonder "where did that come from"?.... So - he can pick a page, read one or 2 items and put it down til next time.
