Description:

`Gemel' is an old English word meaning `twin' - Mark Forsyth's Gemel Edition brings together a Sunday Times Number One bestseller and its BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week sequel in a beautiful, stylish box set which is ideal as a gift.

Synopsis:

The Etymologicon springs from Mark Forsyth's Inky Fool blog about the strange connections between words. The Horologicon - which means `a book of things appropriate to each hour' - follows a day in the life of unusual, beautiful and forgotten English words.
