Sally was brought up in the South of England and it was not unusual for her to hear funny little sayings pop out of people's mouths. A number of years ago, she developed a fascination for these sayings and started to research their origins. Hence, "The Illustrated Book of Funny Old Sayings" came about.

With the encouragement and help from her friend Sam Clarke, this is her first book to be published and hopefully it will not be her last!

This book will appeal to people of all ages, lovers of trivia, history and language. It makes the perfect little gift and will provide a little bit of amusement for all.
