Middle English. Be still my heart! Such a wonder. Imagine - English before spelling was invented.

Marvellous piece.

Be more medieval.

I'm so glad that I've found your writing, Grace. I look forward to devouring it in the future, like a fish consuming a certain biblical prophet.

The use of alliteration in Old English poetry is really just the best.

A lovely post with much to reflect upon. Grace, would you sometime list what you think are the best novels set in the Middle Ages?

I'll think on that! Maybe do a little section in another Medievalish :)
