The Essential Book of Danish Sayings Alex Berger 1.º edición

The Essential Book of Danish Sayings explores the strange, funny, and wise world of Danish expressions. It brings together 167 of Denmark's most colorful sayings, each presented in Danish with a literal English translation and a clear explanation of what it means and how it is used.

Sixty-five detailed black-and-white illustrations bring selected sayings to life, making the collection easy to browse, share, and return to.
