Paul Anthony Jones, Haggard Hawks\n\nIn this beautiful little book, Hana Videen has gathered gems of words 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.","brand":"Profile Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54219901534552,"sku":"9781788166119","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781788166119_ec1e1da2-a794-483b-b0f6-586136b28ab5.jpg?v=1780383662","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/wordhord","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
