New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2013. David and Hilary Crystal drove thousands of miles to locations throughtout Britain, David providing the descriptions, Hilary the full-colour photographs. Their book reflects the language's history starting with Anglo-Saxon arrivals and ending in London with apps for grammar. In between lie encounters with places associated with Chaucer, Shakerpeare, Wordsworth, Wycliffe, Tyndale, Johnson, Murray, and numerous others. Among its joys are the unexpected discoveries the authors make at every stage of their epic journey.
