Reviews

'William Blake wrote 70 proverbs from Hell and he didn't even live in an age of social media. Fowler and Jenks have written four million, though they've never sat naked together in a tree. Some of these proverbs aren't proverbial, some of them don't even have verbs in, but they're guaranteed to make you see the world more fully. Here are new truths, scintillating observations and more laughs than any book has the right to give.' Chris McCabe '""A proverb a day keeps the doctor confused"", but for the rest of us this indispensable compendium of must-dos couldn't come soon enough. Not before time, SJ Fowler and Tom Jenks have reprised their 1000 Proverbs project of 2015, providing a new and now bumper handbook to help navigate an increasingly un-navigable world. Practical up-to-the-minute advice includes crypto dos-and-don'ts and airfryer FAQs, fast fashion tips and updated egg etiquette. From cereals to saints, polymaths to flip-flops, there is much to take away here. Vikings are revisited, sea creatures consulted - keep it on your person at all times for easy reference. ""A crustless pie is no pie at all."" Vital stuff.' Sarah-Clare Conlon 'Here is the proverb as epic narrative, as operatic aria, as dazzling linguistic light that holds you in its beam. A playful triumph! A proverbial triumph!' Ian McMillan
