2007-12-24 Absolutely delicious, a delight.

I had to limit myself to one chapter a night, and wanted more when I finished it. What a light touch Harry Campbell has, making gentle fun of the serious business of names and their significance. Wars have been launched over names and their ownership, elections have been lost, and identities discarded. Every page has his gentle, whimsical humour, rendering clear the intricacies of the past naming of places, never becoming heavy, always bringing a little smile. If you like place, if an atlas is your natural territory, this is the book for you.
