bōc-cynn, n.n: a kind of book. (BOAK-KUEN / ˈboːk-ˌkyn)

A book, “The Deorhord: An Old English Bestiary”, by Hana Videen, author of “The Wordhord”, against a red background with a gold border, with a griffin in the bottom left corner and a dove in the upper right. Profile Books logo is at the bottom right. The title and author’s name are written inside an arched window shape of Old English words, surrounded by wood-cut style illustrations in green and gold, each in its own compartment but overlapping slightly: a wolf, a whale, a dove, a crocodile-like creature, a dog-headed person holding a cross, a deer, a four-legged creature with three horns on its forehead, a phoenix in a burning nest, a medieval woman writing, a snake, and a griffin.
Today I’m excited to announce my next bōc… The Deorhord: An Old English Bestiary. Coming this November!

  1. I’m so lookong forward to buying this new book ! I am currently reading the Word Hord and enjoying it immensely. So many Old English words resonate with German, it’s amazing. And I love your sense of humour.
