A review by cateyejayne
The Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way by Bill Bryson

informative reflective medium-paced

3.5

I enjoyed this read as it made me want to follow up with a book on the origins of common phrases such as "from the get go". As a reader of non fiction European history & the  #PlantagenetMonarchy this book imparted basic information regarding place names, customs, law, and a short intro to the evolution of the English language.
