Product Description

Product Description

Each drawing in this book represents a different saying or proverb. To play the game, simply go through the book, drawing by drawing, writing down your guesses as to what "figure of speech" they represent. Some you'll find easy - others fiendishly difficult!

Format:Hardcover
This collection of illustrations is a lot of fun. It provides scope for puzzling out the answers with friends of a literary disposition. 30 clever images which would make a good teaching resource for English language and literature courses.

The puzzles will amuse and maybe even stump you 2 Jun 2008
By Charles Ashbacher - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book is one of those that will amuse and maybe even stump you for awhile and then remain uninteresting for years afterwards. It contains a series of drawings that are representative of a famous "figure of speech", and your goal is to determine what it is. As is always the case with such puzzles, the level of difficulty varies widely and the answers to all 29 puzzles are given at the end. However, after you discern or learn the answer, you will not find it puzzling again until enough time has past where you have completely forgotten the puzzle.
