The Anglo-Saxon world

Drout, Michael D. C. 1968- (Author).

Summary: The Angles and Saxons purposefully migrated to the isles of the Britons and brought with them their already-well-developed use of language. Professor Michael D.C. Drout presents the Anglo-Saxons' storytelling abilities using their own words; he does so in their own voice--the incredibly melodious Old English.
