{"product_id":"9781788166119","title":"The wordhord","description":"\u003cp\u003eOld English is the language we think we know until we actually see it. Used in England over a thousand years ago, it is rich with words that haven't changed (word), others that are unrecognisable (neorxnawang - paradise) and some that are curiously mystifying (gafol-fisc - tax-fish). In this beautiful little book, Hana Videen has gathered these gems together to create a glorious trove and illuminate the lives, beliefs and habits of our linguistic ancestors. We discover a world where choking on a bit of bread might prove your guilt, where fiend-ship was as likely as friend-ship, and you might grow up to be a laughter-smith. These are the magical roots of our own language: you'll never see English in the same way again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hana Videen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55329367196026,"sku":"9781788166119","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9781788166119.jpg?v=1770911493","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9781788166119","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
