This book comes highly recommended by the comedian and fellow author Stephen Fry. In The Meaning of Tingo – and other extraordinary words from around the world, author Adam Jacot de Bonod has trawled through the world’s dictionaries to uncover words that are quirky, amusing or just downright befuddling! Here’s your chance to hear the author both read extracts from and talk about the process of writing this highly amusing book. This is a follow-up podcast to one we published a few weeks ago. So great was the reaction we’ve rescued some new material from the editing room floor!!
