5.0 out of 5 stars
incredibly informative and interesting!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: French Inside Out: The Worldwide Development of the French Language in the Past, the Present and the Future (Paperback)
Even if you don't speak French, this book is a fascinating history of language -- and much of it relates to English. I came away with a huge curiosity for more knowledge about the history of words! It's one of those books that has so many interesting facts you want to tell everyone around you.
