Why are geese in a gaggle? Are crows really murderous? And what makes lions so proud? Collective nouns are one of the most charming oddities of the English language, often with seemingly bizarre connections to the groups they identify. Most of those found in this book have their origins in the Medieval Books of Courtesy, among the earliest works to be published in this country.
