About the Author:
Gordon Jarvie is the author of the original Dictionary of Idioms (Bloomsbury, 1996) and the Bloomsbury Grammar Guide (2007). Gordon has written widely on language and punctuation. He developed his interest in idioms as a textbook publisher for learners of English as a foreign language, many of whom struggle - quite understandably - with the idea of raining cats and dogs, talking turkey and vicious circles.
