From Riddley Walker Annotations
Revision as of 18:02, 28 July 2013 by Eli Bishop (talk | contribs)
This is an list of appearances of various words, phrases, characters and themes in Riddley Walker. Page numbers are from the Expanded Edition. Underlined page numbers are links to the annotations.
When the spelling of a word in the book is only slightly altered, this list uses the standard spelling instead. The "Riddleyspeak" spelling is shown for words and phrases that may be particularly hard to decipher or that don't have a single direct translation. These will generally have at least one linked annotation about their meanings, so you can use the index and the annotations together as a glossary.
