Not only does this book teach you the proper group names, e.g. a pride of lions, an ambush of tigers, an exaltation of larks, it teaches you the history of how this quaint collective name system got started. In medieval times knights would haze their pages making them memorise these fanciful group names hooting with laughter at any mistakes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
