An informal history of the English language in America by the inimitable Bill Bryson. Tells the story of how American arose out of the English language, and along the way, de-mythologizes his native land - explaining how a dusty desert hamlet with neither woods nor holly became Hollywood, how the Wild West wasn't won, why Americans say 'lootenant' and 'Toosday', and more. This 2016 Black Swan Paperback is in
very good condition.
