Say Chic to say it in french
Say Chic, a collection of French words we can't live without
In Say Chic, Françoise Blanchard and Jeremy Leven collect more than seventy familiar French words and phrases that have become a permanent part of the English vocabulary. The authors offer full-bodied descriptions of words' origins and each word's adoption into English usage that include etymology, history, culture, and pithy observations.
Combining the sensibilities of an American author and a French author, the book has a droll, often deadpan tone, and no small amount of panache. A mine of intriguing words and the stories behind them, that will find his raison d'être on any bookshelf.
With the delightful illustrations of Pouch.
