About

Behind so many words we use without thinking are real people with a story to tell. Who Incented what? Whose outrageous behaviour made their name a byword? Whose eccentric clothing is remembered in garmets we wear? Whose names do we eat, sit on, kill, communicate amd make music with?

This fascinating compendium contains the most familiar and more unusual eponyms as well as the stories that surround them.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome drawings.
