Aldiborontiphoskyphorniostikos was a book that contained a game in which players had to read the snippet for each letter of the alphabet as fast as they could without making a mistake. Alternatively, several players could read the snippets in a staggered manner. The snippets for each letter contain tongue-twisting mock-Latin names whose content is cumulatively appended at the end of each new letter snippet.The book is based on Chrononhotonthologos, which in turn was based on Henry Fielding's Tom Thumb. The book was embellished with sixteen elegantly coloured engravings and sold for 1 shilling. Source: Wikipedia (en)
