The Deorhord: An Old English Bestiary by Hana Videen

challenging informative mysterious slow-paced

4.5

Really interesting etymological read. I’m surprised to say my favourite bits were the animals that were ordinary or extraordinary - the baffling part felt the weakest to me. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in language, history of animals or just medieval history generally! Really a weird and wonderful read.
