Canterbury tall tales




A review of "A Concise Dictionary of Middle English" 

Excellent, should you ever run into a jaded green knight among the pixies at some desolate graveyard in Cornwall. Could also come in handy if your astral travels ever take you to 14th century Canterbury and its colourful denizens. Or if your best friend is a hard-core LOTR nerd who learned Middle English even before he took on Sindarin, just because the Master taught the language at Oxbridge. Of less use if you're stranded in Bath or the Midlands, though.
