Dear Readers,
You may not know me, but I know you. I am – the WORD SPY!
The Word Spy? Allow me to explain... You see, I love words. Ever since I can remember, I've been listening to, speaking, reading, writing, and yes – spying on words. I follow words everywhere. I creep down dark hallways, roam wide highways and sneak along country lanes. I listen to conversations, read over people's shoulders, flip through books, click on wesites and tap out messages...
But the time has come at last for me to emerge from undercover and share with you some of the many things I have learnt.
Why don't you come and be a Word Spy with me? All you have to do is open this book, take a deep breath and dive inside. The wonderful world of words awaits!
But shhh! Someone's coming! I cannot stay. See you very soon, I hope. Don't delay, my spies, I'm expecting you...
Bye bye! Must fly!
Yours ever,
The Word Spy
