Playful, enthusiastic, patient, encouraging, and edifying without unnecessary technicalities. This is the best book on language I've ever read (better even than "Language Instinct")! To determine which is the best part of the book would only reveal the reader's own preferences; the section at the end on participating in lexiquests is most useful (including estimating meanings, one's own wordhoard, and childrens' language learning), even if the sources are sticking mostly to the U.K. and U.S.A., and many web sites have moved. Anyone from age 10 to 100 can enjoy and learn from it.
