Grade 5 Up-A handy reference book containing more than 1500 pithy and familiar sayings from ancient times through to the present day. Each alphabetically arranged expression is printed in boldface and followed by a short explanation of its meaning, an example from literature or elsewhere, mention of its origin and variants, and the year it was first recorded, if known. Cross-references and proverbs with similar or different meanings are included when appropriate. Indexes by keyword and by theme complete the work. Informative and easy to use for assignments and for browsing, this is a fine example of the adage, "a book is like a garden carried in the pocket."-Pat Bender, The Shipley School, Bryn Mawr, PACopyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From

A good general compilation of proverbs indexed by theme and keyword has passed into a second edition without detriment. The author notes that he has added a number of "familiar, long-established proverbs," as well as a selection of "more modern proverbial sayings," and that existing entries have been updated to include modern variants. Also new to this edition are 20 boxes, scattered through the text, each containing about 20 proverbs from specific geographical areas, cultures, or languages, the purpose being "to provide a glimpse of other proverbial traditions"; these proverbs, apparently, are not indexed. Cordry, Harold
