NOTES

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:#1 The first word ever written in the English language was Raihan, which was found on a bone from a roe deer. The word was written in runes and dates back to the Roman era. #2 The ostrich eggshell in the museum in Norwich, England, is the oldest piece of writing in the English language. It is also the only remaining example of Old English, which was the language spoken by the Anglo-Saxons before they converted to Christianity in the 5th century
