The word 'philavery' was specially invented to describe this book - a collection of words chosen simply on the grounds of their aesthetic appeal. Some of these words appeal because of their aptness, some for their obscurity, some for their euphony, and some for their quirkiness. As a collection they will be a delight to all word lovers.

For nearly twenty years, Christopher Foyle has been collecting interesting and unusual words, ancient and modern. This ever-growing collection evolved into Foyle's Philavery, now followed by Foyle's Further Philavery - another anthology of linguistic treasures. This celebration of fascinating words, chosen for their aptness, obscurity, quirkiness or euphony, will delight all logophiles and bibliomaniacs.

From Kitty Foyle, born of modest Irish-American stock in a manufacturing region of Philadelphia, we hear what it was like to be an American girl in the years just before the book's publication in 1939, and her look toward the future. In school, in business, in love, in her struggle against a massive and frozen social tradition -- and in her defeat which looks strangely like victory -- we get to know and admire her. But not even our sympathy can help her solve the problem she faces at the end. The 1940 movie adaptation starring Ginger Rogers was enormously popular, earning her the Academy Award for Best Actress. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture and the Academy Award for Writing Adapted Screenplay
