This is a fascinating book that I highly recommend to anyone interested in literature or history. You will be surprised about how little of modern English is actually English; rather, Norse, German, French, Latin and Greek for scientific terms. This riveting book by Professor Fee explaning why, how and when. This book is a captivating journey. My only criticism is the autor-narrator's frequest digressions and hesitations with "ahhhs, ummms", and pauses; nevertheless, bare with it as the content and scholarly research will make patience worth it.
