LOST WORDS
Philip Howard

Philip Howard’s legendary ‘Lost Words’ column has been appearing weekly in The Times for many years, wittily illuminating a raft of the most obscure, esoteric words the English language has to offer. At the same time, his ‘Word Watching’ puzzles have provided readers with the chance to pit their lexicographical skill against his tongue-in-cheek multiple-choice conundrums.

Endlessly fascinating, Lost Words continues Philip Howard’s amusing and informative tour of words that enrich the English language and would otherwise have been lost forever.
