We learn, for instance, not only that “The Land of the Rising Sun” refers to Japan, but also that the phrase is a translation of Japanese Nippon (nichi “the sun” and pon “the source”). From “Barbie Doll” to “the Big Bang Theory,” “Every Dog has His Day,” and “Seven-League Boots,” The Oxford Dictionary of Phrase and Fable is a kaleidoscopic reference work on the thousands of colorful words and phrases we use every day.
