Sinossi

"Idioms That Tell Stories" offers a fresh, narrative-driven approach to mastering English idioms. Organized into ten thematic chapters—Animals, Body Parts, Food & Drink, Weather & Nature, Colours, Time & Money, Work & Business, People & Relationships, Emotions & Reactions, and Miscellaneous & Abstract—this guide presents 100 essential idioms woven into 150–200-word mini-stories. Each story brings an expression to life, showing how it functions in context and helping learners build intuitive understanding.
 
Following every chapter, carefully designed exercises reinforce comprehension and active use: true-or-false usage notes, sentence-rewrite drills, custom sentence prompts, and short-story challenges encourage creativity and confidence. A comprehensive answer key supports self-study, while further reading suggestions connect users with deeper resources.
 
Whether you're an intermediate learner aiming to sound more natural or an instructor seeking engaging classroom material, "Idioms That Tell Stories" transforms everyday expressions into memorable narratives—and invites you to explore, practice, and share the vivid world behind each phrase.

    The Pulitzer Prize-winning author "shares his insights into—and passion for—the creation and experience of fiction with total openness" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). 
     
     
      
    Robert Olen Butler, author of Perfume River, A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain, and A Small Hotel, teaches graduate fiction at Florida State University—his version of literary boot camp. In From Where You Dream, Butler reimagines the process of writing as emotional rather than intellectual and tells writers how to achieve the dream space necessary for composing honest, inspired fiction. Proposing that fiction is the exploration of the human condition with yearning as its compass, Butler reinterprets the traditional tools of the craft using the dynamics of desire. Offering a direct view into the mind and craft of a literary master, From Where You Dream is an invaluable tool for the novice and experienced writer alike. 
     
     
      
    "Incisive and provocative, Butler's tutorials are a must for anyone even thinking about writing fiction, and readers, too, will benefit from his passionate exhortations." —Booklist
