The premise is that the author goes through the centuries chronologically adding words that have developed and are pertinent in the development of the English language for each era. I have already read about roe, lea, and, loaf, out and street. And I am only up to the 9th century.
The book merges archaeology and linguistics. And is a fabulously interesting read. I highly recommend this book to any and everyone.
