Susie Dent,bestselling author,broadcaster and word expert,is on a mission to find light in the deepest,darkest corners of our language.
It takes just a short browse through the dictionary to spot how it is filled with negative words. But Susie has searched far and wide to unearth happy and uplifting words and phrases that,in some cases,are long forgotten,while others have only just been discovered.
Paired with beautiful illustrations,this is the perfect book to lift you out of your mubble fubbles (a slightly sad mood),make you grin like a gigglemug (someone who never stops smiling),and have you feeling forblissed (extremely happy) in no time.
This joyous collection of 100 positive words and their origins will show readers young and old just how wonderful language can be - and how you can use your words to make the world a happier place.

'I enjoyed this so much. As a pessimistic lover of words,this was both comforting and heart-warming. I always think that learning about etymology is a way to appreciate the secret code of the world,and Susie is the perfect guide and companion and lexical cheerleader.'- Stig Abel
