Synopsis
Each regional volume contains thousands of entertaining expressions, anecdotes, pronunciations, idioms, and catchwords -- both historical and contemporary -- excerpted from novels, poetry, legends, and newspaper articles. An extensive introduction provides in-depth coverage of each area as well as its many different dialects. New Englanders have a way of talking that is all their own. Now a host of their entertaining expressions, anecdotes, pronunciations, idioms, and catchwords have been collected into one volume.
