Subtitled 'The story of language from the earliest grunts to Twitter and beyond' this book accompanies the five-part BBC series in which Stephen Fry explores how we learn language, write it and sometimes lose it, and why it defines us.
From the dusty scrolls of the past to the unknown digital future, and with (heart) the first graphic to enter the OED, are we already well on our way to a language without words? In a round-the-world trip of a lifetime, discover all this and more as J.P. Davidson travels across our gloriously, endlessly intriguing multilingual Planet Word.
