For generations Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable has been hailed not only as a serious work of reference, but also as a treasury of the fascinating, the serendipitous and the downright peculiar. Brewer's Brewer's Cabinet of Curiosities is an irresistibly browsable collection of bizarre and out-of-the-way information, with a strong phrase-and-fable slant, but also including anecdotes, odd news reports, quotations, superstitions, tall tales and frankly unbelievable truths. As in the Cabinets of Curiosities of 17th- and 18th-century collectors and connoisseurs, Brewer's Cabinet of Curiosities has a myriad drawers, cupboards and hidden compartments, wherein the reader may be lost for ever in search of the next freakish specimen or startling revelation.
