Stephen Fry celebrates, examines and plays word games, explaining why they're important. Is English an innately playful language? Are word games good for you?

Trying to catch up on all my #NFNov reviews before the frenzy of #WinterGames tomorrow!

I adore Fry, and his audiobooks are delightful, so this was just as expected. :)

I'm fascinated by language: who better to listen to about metaphor, cliché, puns and quotes than the charming and erudite Stephen Fry?

(I wish I could recall which Litten got me into audiobooks, and thus audio-housework. I am maintaining a minimum level of passive-aggressive pan-bashing, however: I wouldn't want anyone entertaining misguided notions of my 'not minding'. 😉)
