From Old English to Standard English: A Course Book in Language Variations Across Time (Studies in English Language, 9) by Dennis Freeborn

A book primarily for teachers of Old English, but useful for anyone interested in diving into the distant world of Anglo Saxon, with numerous Old English text samples and excerpts and clear grammatical explanations.
