About This Item
Synopsis
Graeme Donald has been researching the origins of words, nursery rhymes, superstitions and popular misconceptions for years. For the ten years that Today newspaper was on the stands he wrote a daily column exploring such material and also wrote for The Mirror and The Age in Melbourne . He devised and set the questions for Back to Square One , a word-origins based panel game which ran for eight series on BBC Radio 2 and BBC World Service. He has also guested on countless radio and television shows, either to explain words and customs at special times - Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc. - or simply to field listeners' or viewers' question.
