The Adventure of English

Melvyn Bragg

£10.99

Melvyn Bragg shows us the remarkable story of the English language; from its beginnings as a minor guttural Germanic dialect to its position today as a truly established global language.

This is not only an enthralling story of power, religion and trade, but also the story of people, and how their day to day lives shaped and continue to change the extraordinary language that is English.
