The book tells the story of the importation into the English language of approximately 25,000 French words over a period of 900 years (1066/1966). These loanwords are classified in 4 different groups : 1) French borrowings (carte blanche, cliché, divorcé, rendez-vous...) 2) Ignored Gallicisms (animal, fruit, prison, table, village...) 3) Anglicized Gallicisms (anniversary, career, eternity, fashion, music, mute...) 4) Old French (alien, car, fool, haste, nice, strange, war...). The books ends with a series of memorization exercises to help remembering the immense variety of the French vocabulary into the English language.
