From Mark Forsyth, the author of the #1 international bestseller, The Etymologicon, comes a book of weird words for familiar situations. The Horologicon (or book of hours) contains the most extraordinary words in the English language, arranged according to what hour of the day you might need them. Do you wake up feeling rough? Then you’re philogrobolized. Find yourself pretending to work? That’s fudgelling. And this could lead to rizzling, if you feel sleepy after lunch. Though you are sure to become a sparkling deipnosopbist by dinner. Just don’t get too vinomadefied; a drunk dinner companion is never appreciated. From ante-jentacular to snudge by way of quafftide and wamblecropt, at last you can say, with utter accuracy, exactly what you mean.

Winner of the Text Prize for Young Adult and Children's Writing, 2013. Shortlisted, The Children's Book Council of Australia Book of the Year for Older Readers, 2015. Tom survived a devastating flood that claimed the lives of her sister and parents. Now she lives with Bill in his old shed by the lake. But it's time to move out. Tom is pregnant with Bill's baby. Jonah lets her move in with him. Mrs Peck gives her the Fishmaster Super Series tackle box. Nana is full of gentle good advice and useful sayings. And in her longing for what is lost, Tom talks to fish: Oscar the carp in the pet shop, little Sarah catfish who might be her sister, an unhelpful turtle in a tank at the maternity ward. And the minnow. The Minnow is a moving and powerful coming-of-age story with a whimsical element that belies the heartbreaking truth of grief and loss. Tom is a character you will never forget. Diana Sweeney is a university lecturer and fashion model. She was born in Auckland, and moved to Sydney at the age of twelve. She now lives in northern New South Wales. The Minnow is her first novel. Book club and teaching notes are available from the Text Publishing website. 'Quietly powerful and compelling. A tender, lyrical book about love, loss and starting over.' Meg Rosoff. 'Diana Sweeney gives Tom a believable voice: innocent, headstrong, anxious but determined...this strong debut will resonate with young people and adults alike.' Books+Publishing 'The Minnow has all the breath-holding intensity and aching beauty of swimming underwater.' Romy Ash 'This is an extraordinary, original, rich and surprising novel...Tom is an unforgettable character.' Magpies 'Sweeney’s first novel is a powerful touchstone of longing and melancholy.'

The solivagant walks the streets of Edinburgh, the voice in his head incessantly active as, unbidden and unrelenting, it dissects his inner life. Occasionally other voices intervene but whether these are constructs of his own consciousness, or extraneous to it, he cannot tell. He appears to be losing control of himself, on the brink of madness even, but is this really the case, or is it just the state we like to call sanity laid bare? The novel is a psychological investigation of how a passer by navigates his way through another aimless day, and poses the question of whether the solivagant is merely a disconnected individual or might he be representative of us all.

ISBN: 1442233990

An alphabetical discussion of words from early English authors, including the most interesting, informative—and revivable—English words that have lapsed from general use. Includes: 1) Words likely to be met in literary reading. Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare, the Tudor pamphlets and translations, are richly represented in words and illustrative quotations. The late 18th and early 19th century revival has been culled: Chatterton, Ossian; Percy’s Reliques and Child’s Ballads; Scott, in his effort to bring picturesque words back into use. In addition, anthologies, for the general reader or the student, have been examined, and works they include combed for forgotten words. 2) Words that belong to the history of early England, describing or illuminating social conditions, political (e.g. feudal) divisions or distinctions, and all the ways of living, of thinking and feeling, in earlier times. Anxiety, for example, is indicated, not in the 99 phobias listed in a psychiatric glossary of the 1950s but in the 120 methods (see areomancy) of determining the future. 3) Words that in various ways have special interest, as in meaning, background, or associated folklore. Included in this group are various imaginary beings, and a number of magic or medicinal plants. 4) Words that are not in the general vocabulary today, but might be usefully and pleasantly revived.

Solivagant is a collection of thoughts and feelings, of life, love, and loss. To some, it is words. To others, it is the heart laid bare. For most, it is an emotion that resonated within and escaped. Written for those who have lived, loved, and lost, each verse is an inward journey into the soul. Where there is love, there is beauty, and where there is beauty, there is pain. And life, life is like dancing in the rain.
