Superb' SpectatorThe biography of a language: an enthralling story of power, religion and trade, but also of people, and how their day-to-day lives shaped and continue to change the extraordinary language that is English.

It is a landmark work by one of Britain's most influential writers and broadcasters. This paperback edition, published to celebrate Sceptre's 30th anniversary, features an exclusive new afterword by the author.
