THE ILLUSTRATED BOOK OF SAYINGS:
Curious Expressions from Around the World
Ella Frances Sanders's first book, Lost in Translation, captured the
imagination of readers with its charmingly illustrated words that have no
direct English translation. Now, the New York Times-bestselling author is
back with an illustrated collection that addresses the nuances of language in
the form of sayings from around the world. From the French idiom "to pedal
in the sauerkraut," (i.e., "to spin your wheels,") to the Japanese idiom "even
monkeys fall from trees" (meaning, "even experts can be wrong"), Sanders
presents sayings that reveal the remarkable diversity, humor, and poignancy
of the world's languages and cultures.
