Elanna’s Reviews > The Wordhord: Daily Life in Old English > Status Update

It toom me time to warm to this book. I had, maybe, excessive expectations. I trudged along the first couple of chapters, and I was rewarded with much more fun once I got into yhe slow rythm and I accepted that not all of its explanations and word-hords are interesting to me. Great fun tracing modern words back to their Old English roots, though! Like sēamestre/seamstress, or lœfdyge/the breadmaker/lady!
