Brewsters Dictionary of Phrase and Fable

It won't fulfil all your needs, but http://www.xrefer.com

is an extremely useful reference source. Tip: don't 'select a topic' - it seems to work better without.

NB, that's Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable (ISBN 0304350966). You can also find an archaic version of it online at http://www.bibliomania.com/2/3/255/1169/frameset.html Another useful book is the Oxford Dctionary of Idioms (ISBN 0192801112). Not as good as Brewer's, but considerably cheaper.
