saru147 's review for:
The Wordhord: Daily Life in Old English
by Hana Videen
Un-āsecgendlīc.
A marvellous book for people who is studying (and obsessed) with Old English. I have read a lot of things I know and I have learnt lots and lots of new things!
The best thing about this book is that it is not a boring treatise or a mere listing of words, it is an easy-reading and amusing book where, besides explaining the etymology of different words, she also tells us curiosities about the lifes of scribes and peoples during the English Middle Ages.
I can certainly avow that this is one of my favourite books of this year.
