Small books, big ideas. Do particular sounds have particular magical effects? Discussing this question, this book talks about the deadly daggers of D, the trivialising teasing taunts of T and the nagging nasal negatives associated with N. It is useful for orators, poets and sorcerers, and is humorously illustrated by "Guardian" cartoonist, Merrily Harpur.
