DEORHORD: AN OLD ENGLISH BESTIARY (PB)

Over a thousand years ago, wherever Old English was spoken in Britain, every animal was a deor. In this glittering collection are deors big and small, ordinary and extraordinary, and some delightfully baffling. From walker-weavers (spiders) and grey-cloaked ones (eagles) to moon-heads and teeth-tyrants (historians still don't know), discover a world both familiar and strange: where ants can be monsters and panthers can be your friend, where dog-headed men are as real as elephants and where whales are as sneaky as wolves.
