We're all familiar with 'a flock of sheep' but what are the collective nouns for racehorses, pigs, zebras or giraffes?
Drawing on a range of sources, from fifteenth-century hunting terms to more recent inventions that have now entered the language, this pocket-sized book collects over 100 examples of the most interesting collective nouns for animals, each illustrated with charming woodcuts by the renowned naturalist engraver of the eighteenth century, Thomas Bewick.
