David Crystal

Saturday, June 9th
Amgueddfa Lloyd George Museum, Llanystumdwy, 10:00 am, £4/£3

David Crystal recently went on a journey to find out more about the fascinating variety and history of the English
language, in Britain and overseas, and has written up what he found in a linguistic travelogue, By Hook or by Crook: a Journey in Search of English. He talks about accents and dialects, place names and etymologies, introduces some of
the people and places he encountered, from Lady Godiva to Bricklehampton, and reflects on the language's continually changing and elusive character.
