I am interested in finding out where sayings derive from, and wondered if anyone knows of any books that could help me out ? I already have the Brewers Fables book, but that isn't quite what I am after.

Any help would be most welcomed

I've got this_one - can't swear it's always right, though. There are also online sites that handle this sort of thing eg this.

I've found the Oxford Library of Words and Phrases very helpful.

It's in three volumes:- Quotations, Proverbs and Word Origins.
