The Stories of English

David Crystal: the encylopaedic language guru and Hay hero turns the history of English on its head and provides a startlingly original view of where the richness, creativity and diversity ofthe language truly lies in the accents and dialects of non-standard English users all over the world. He explores the diversity in local usage and scans the literary inventions of Chaucer, Tolkien and Irvine Welsh.
