The Tiny Tome of Two-Word Tales

$9.95Price

A single word is constrained by its definitions. Three words make a sentence. 

 

But... two words? One can fit a whole world into two words.

 

Enter The Tiny Tome of Two-Word Tales by Tobie DePauw.

 

I've been collecting doublets for years. Coupling two words to work together or in contrast is very satisfying to me. The Tiny Tome of Two-Word Tales is the first compilation of TWT's for public consumption. This first collection contains  ~70 word pairings to incite ideas, emotions, giggles and gab. It's worth noting that a number of them also feature words that will not be found in any dictionary (yet), but are just piles of letters that are delightful to say.

 

I'm a social creature, so I invited a few brilliant and talented friends and harangued one of my kiddos to contribute illustrations for some of the tales.
