AUTHOR
SUMMARY
With dazzling wit and astonishing insight, bestselling author Bill Bryson brilliantly explores the remarkable history, eccentricities, resilience, and sheer fun of the English language. From the first descent of the larynx into the throat (why you can talk but your dog can't) to the fine lost art of swearing, Bryson tells the fascinating, often uproarious story of an inadequate, second-rate tongue of peasants that developed into one of the world's largest growth industries.Bryson, Bill is the author of 'Mother Tongue English & How It Got That Way', published 1991 under ISBN 9780380715435 and ISBN 0380715430.
