From uhtcearein the hours before dawn through to dream drumblesat bedtime, The Horologicongives you the extraordinary lost words you never knew you needed. Wake up feeling rough? Then you're philogrobolized. Pretending to work? That's fudgelling(which may lead to rizzlingif you feel sleepy after lunch). A Radio 4 Book of the Week, The Horologiconis an eye-opening, page-turning celebration of the English language at its most endearingly arcane.
