Edgar Rice Burroughs was not satisfied with creating characters and events within the world that we know; instead he created whole new worlds for histories, and he filled them with peoples, languages, cities, wars, plants, machines, and monsters that were believable to the reader, yet still alien and fantastic enough to thrill and delight.

From A-Kor, the keeper of the Towers of Jetan in Manator, through Zytheb, one of the priests of Brulor in Ashair, this is a comprehensive reference to the fantastic worlds of Burroughs. Each entry provides a complete definition, along with a reference to the book in which the entry appeared. For terms, the language, either actual (e.g., Latin and French) or Burroughs-created (e.g., The Tongue of the Great Ape or Pal-ul-don), from which it was derived is given.

Babylonische spraakverwarring, dief in de nacht, bergen verzetten: veel Bijbelse uitdrukkingen, metaforen en zegswijzen zijn inmiddels een rotsvast onderdeel geworden van ons dagelijks taalgebruik. Vaak gebruik je deze talige pareltjes uit het Boek der boeken niet bewust. De uitleg van de herkomst kan dan ook tot een openbaring leiden. Ton den Boon neemt Bijbelse uitdrukkingen onder de loep en kijkt daarbij naar de verschillende Bijbelvertalingen. Daarnaast beschrijft hij hoe het Bijbelse Nederlands in de literatuur (en in de Dikke Van Dale) terechtgekomen is. Met bijvoorbeeld uitspraken van politici laat hij zien dat gebruik van Bijbelse uitdrukkingen zeer actueel is.

Het Nederlands kent tal van vreemde woorden die via allerlei omzwervingen in onze taal terecht zijn gekomen. Bij sommige van die woorden is de herkomst nog duidelijk te zien, andere woorden zijn in de loop van de tijd zo veranderd dat hun herkomst in de vergetelheid is geraakt. Ook inheemse woorden hebben vaak zulke veranderingen ondergaan dat wij geen verband meer leggen met de oorspronkelijke betekenis.
