Mom found this treasure of a book for a couple of dollars during one of her book shopping trips: The Journey of English. It's the history of how the English language came to be. Before you write it off as a boring textbook, it's a delightful, beautifully written children's picture book. One could consider it a mini version of Winston Churchill's History of the English People because it tells of the various people-groups who became the history of the British Isles. Online it's fetching a pretty (big!) price, so if you ever come across it at a book sale, snatch up this prize!
From the book basket,
Elizabeth Drue.
