SPEAKING IN TONGUES - CURIOUS EXPRESSIONS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
Ella Frances Sanders
Ever feel like you are pedalling in the choucroute? Been caught with your beard in the mailbox again? Or maybe you just wish everyone would stop ironing your head?
Speaking in Tongues brings the weird, wonderful and surprising nuanced beauty of language to life with over fifty gorgeous watercolour and ink illustrations.
Here you will find the perfect romantic expression, such as the Spanish tu eres mi media naranja, or ''you are the love of my life, my soulmate'', and the bizarre, including dancing bears and broken pots, feeding donkeys sponge cake, a head full of crickets, and clouds and radishes. All encourage new ways of thinking about the world around us, and breathe magnificent life into the everyday.
These phrases from across the world are ageless and endlessly enchanting, passed down through generations. Now they are yours.
Har du noen gang følt at du sykler i choucrouten? Har du blitt tatt med skjegget i postkassen igjen? Eller kanskje du bare skulle ønske at alle skulle slutte å stryke hodet ditt?
Speaking in Tongues bringer språkets rare, fantastiske og overraskende nyanserte skjønnhet til live med over femti nydelige akvarell- og blekkillustrasjoner.
Her finner du det perfekte romantiske uttrykket, som det spanske tu eres mi media naranja, eller «du er mitt livs kjærlighet, min sjelevenn», og det bisarre, inkludert dansende bjørner og knuste potter, å mate esler med svampekake, et hode fullt av sirisser, og skyer og reddiker. Alle oppmuntrer til nye måter å tenke på verden rundt oss, og puster storslått liv inn i hverdagen.
Disse frasene fra hele verden er tidløse og uendelig fortryllende, gitt videre gjennom generasjoner. Nå er de dine.

Ella Frances Sanders (b. 1993, England) is a New York Times and internationally-bestselling artist, author/illustrator, and designer living in the Highlands of Scotland. She has written and illustrated five books about language, science, and beauty, with her sixth book WORDS TO LOVE A PLANET coming April 7 2026 (Andrews McMeel). She is currently both a columnist for, and the designer of, Orion magazine.
Extended book history:
Sanders' first book, 'Lost in Translation: An Illustrated Compendium of Untranslatable Words' was published in 2014 (Ten Speed Press) and became an international bestseller. It sat on the New York Times bestseller list for 4 consecutive months, was an Amazon Best Book of 2014, and has had multiple printings in over 10 countries. It was featured in places such as the New York Times Book Review, the New York Post, and in 2018 Lost in Translation was announced as the No.1 book for the biggest bookseller in Japan, Kinokuniya, which is only the second time a non-fiction title has ever been chosen for the award in the bookseller’s history.
This was followed by 'The Illustrated Book of Sayings' in 2016 (Ten Speed Press). The San Francisco Chronicle called it “A charming little book”. 'Eating the Sun: Small Musings on a Vast Universe' was published in 2019 (Penguin) to a starred review from Publishers Weekly. It was the recipient of the 2019 Whirling Prize for prose, featured on The Marginalian Favourite Books of 2019 list, and has been translated into languages including German, Japanese, Spanish, and Italian, with a UK edition published under the title 'A Small Illustrated Guide to the Universe'.
In January 2022 'Close Again', a small illustrated commentary on and investigation into life during the COVID-19 pandemic, was published by Andrews McMeel in the US, with translations currently in Italian, German, and Japanese.
'Everything, Beautiful: A Guide to Finding Hidden Beauty in the World' was published in August 2022 in the US (Penguin) and shortly after in the UK (Square Peg). It was reviewed as a “whimsical and winsome reconsideration of the mundane” by Publishers Weekly, and BookPage wrote that the book “upends and expands our notions of beauty.”
Sanders' sixth book, 'Words to Love a Planet' is forthcoming from Andrews McMeel in the US (April 7 2026) and Michael O'Mara Books in the UK (March 26 2026).
