Description of
The Deorhord An Old English Bestiary [Audiobook]
B0CR4FJ587 M4B@64 kbps Author: Hana Videen Narrator: Isabel Adomakoh Young An audiobook narrated by Isabel Adomakoh Young that takes you on an entertaining tour of Old English words for animals. Many of the animals we encounter in everyday life, from pets and farm animals to the wild creatures of field and forest, have remained the same since medieval times. But the words used to name and describe them have often changed beyond recognition, starting with the Old English word for "animal" itself, deor (pronounced DAY-or). In The Deorhord, Hana Videen presents a glittering Old English bestiary of animals real and imaginary, big and small, ordinary and extraordinary-the good, the bad, and the downright baffling.
