David Crystal is the author of a series of entertaining books about the English language. Earlier this year we interviewed him about Spell It Out: The Singular Story of English Spelling. Since then he has written another book (with the help of his wife, Hilary Crystal, an accomplished photographer) that is perfect for our readers. Wordsmiths & Warriors (Oxford University Press) is an “English Language Tourist’s Guide to Britain.” The Crystals visit the places that played a key role in the evolution of “the world’s favourite language”.
