Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable is an old classic which lists the meanings and origins of common phrases, sayings, and fables. It also covers people and places - both real and mythological. Its unique charm - which has kept it a best-seller for more than a hundred years - is that it is based on a solid foundation of the Greek and Roman classics. Excellent and amusing.
