Webb Garrison, formerly associate dean of Emory University and president of McKendree College, wrote more than 55 books. Before his death in 2000, Garrison lived in Lake Junaluska, North Carolina.

I am a word geek. I love reading and writing and speaking and WORDS! The stories behind how phrases came into play and how certain wordings became a part of daily usage fascinate me.
The alternate cover for this book with ducks in a row also called out to me.

This is a book to muse through and smile at and appreciate over time.


I received this book via BOOKLOOK to review.
