Publisher Description

Does absence really make the heart grow fonder? Can beggars be choosers? Is it always better late than never? Proverbs are short, well-known, pithy sayings that offer advice or words of encouragement and are used in everyday English without much thought ever being given to their meanings, or indeed, usefulness. In "An Apple A Day"...Caroline Taggart explores the truth behind our favourite proverbs, their history and whether they offer any genuine help to the recipient.
