Summary: useful and fun resource
Comment: A proverb is a short saying used to illustrate a general truth, and this handy guide is not perfect but it is quite useful and very entertaining. Proverbs are listed alphabetically, and each entry includes an explanation, an example from literature, origin, variants, cross references when appropriate, and a list of sayings with similar or opposite meanings. The book concludes with indexes by keyword and by theme and a bibliography. The print is clean and I was able to find all of the proverbs in which I was interested. My only complaint is that the year of origin is given, but not the source.
