Published in Great Britain in 1954, this visual-puzzle book features twenty-nine uncaptioned comic illustrations representing famous adages and sayings; a key at book's end provides the answers (e.g., a smiling man hoisting a bear on his shoulders depicts "grin and bear it"). Adults may be the book's ideal audience, as kids will most likely be unfamiliar with sayings such as "it suits them down to the ground."
