Kat Orman

Available for over a year

Before publishing his fantasy writing, J. R. R. Tolkien worked at the Oxford English Dictionary. During his time there, he worked on words beginning with "W". Peter Gilliver, one of the editors at the Oxford English dictionary and author of The Ring Of Words, tells Kat about not only the words he worked on but also the words from his books that were added.
