Campbell Jessop

Campbell Jessop, a recent college graduate and sayings enthusiast, is excited to share his first book with anyone interested in the quirks and mysteries of our language.

Campbell has collected sayings since his early days in high school, and continues to add any new ones he hears to his ever-growing list. In college, he put his passion to work by digging into the origins of these phrases in his dorm room. When he's not obsessively researching and collecting sayings, he's playing his trumpet in the community jazz band, carving figurines out of wood, or exploring other obscure hobbies.

Originally from Marietta, Georgia, Campbell now lives in Nashville, Tennessee with his fiancée, Lauren, who sketched all the illustrations in the book to compliment the meaning and history of each saying. Without Lauren’s talent and support, Sayings & Their Stories would not have been possible.
