520    This audiobook narrated by Sara Powell takes listeners on 
       an entertaining and illuminating tour of weird, wonderful,
       and downright baffling words from the origins of English 
       Old English is the language you think you know until you 
       actually hear or see it. Unlike Shakespearean English or 
       even Chaucer's Middle English, Old English-the language of
       Beowulf-defies comprehension by untrained modern readers. 
       Used throughout much of Britain more than a thousand years
       ago, it is rich with words that haven't changed (like 
       word), others that are unrecognizable (such as neorxnawang,
       or paradise), and some that are mystifying even in 
       translation (gafol-fisc, or tax-fish). In this delightful 
       book, Hana Videen gathers a glorious trove of these gems 
       and uses them to illuminate the lives of the earliest 
       English speakers. We discover a world where choking on a 
       bit of bread might prove your guilt, where fiend-ship was 
       as likely as friendship, and where you might grow up to be
       a laughter-smith. The Wordhord takes readers on a journey 
       through Old English words and customs related to practical
       daily activities (eating, drinking, learning, working); 
       relationships and entertainment; health and the body, mind,
       and soul; the natural world (animals, plants, and 
       weather); locations and travel (the source of some of the 
       most evocative words in Old English); mortality, religion,
       and fate; and the imagination and storytelling. Each 
       chapter ends with its own "wordhord"-a list of its Old 
       English terms, with definitions and pronunciations. 
       Entertaining and enlightening, The Wordhord reveals the 
       magical roots of the language you're reading right now: 
       you'll never look at-or speak-English in the same way 
       again.
