An Introduction to the Old English Language and Its Literature by Stephen Pollington
This short book does not aim to provide a grammar of Old English. Rather it suggests why the language is so fun to learn, and guides the beginner through some of the resources available from the Early Medieval world. The types of text surviving are discussed and a few guided exercises show how reading these is really no more difficult than studying Latin.
Moxon, E. S.: - E S Moxon has had a lifelong passion for history and writing. A childhood filled with family visits to ancient burial sites and stone circles fuelled her imagination. Inspired by classic medieval tales and Norse sagas, Elaine imagined herself inhabiting these Dark Ages and exploring the landscapes in her mind and continues to do so through her novels. The first in her 'Wolf Spear Saga' series is 'Wulfsuna' (from which these tales have arisen) and is now sold in ebook, paperback and hardback editions. You can find out more from her website: elainesmoxon.com She is currently working on her second novel in the 'Wolf Spear Saga', as well as a prequel novella based on the early life of Lord Wulfric. When not lost in pages of the past, Elaine lives in the Midlands with her family and their chocolate Labrador.
