I bought this book just before moving to France 7 years ago. It's amusing and the ilustrations are great!

You are drawn to this book initially because of its appealing cover illustration. On delving deeper inside the pages you'll find some fantastic proverbs used by the French and their English equivalent. Not only is it essential reading for any French language student, but for the non-French speaker it also gives an insight into the way that a different language develops. Fun pictures accompany each proverb and also an contextual example of how each phrase is used. Above all it's a fun book to browse through, which will be really useful for anyone studying the language.
