I’m a #medievalist, #writer and hoarder of words (particularly of the #OldEnglish variety) living in #Toronto. I have been sharing the Old English Word of the Day on Twitter (@OEWordhord) & oldenglishwordhord.com since 2013. My book THE WORDHORD: DAILY LIFE IN OLD ENGLISH takes the reader on a journey through early #medieval England through its #language (bit.ly/WordhordBook). My 2nd book - about animals in Old English - is coming in 2023. #medievodons#histodons#history#introduction
