This review is from: From Roman Britain to Norman England (Kindle Edition)
This book gets a lot of pretty harsh reviews for the print edition by people complaining that it's geared towards the lay person with an interest in Anglo-Saxon Britain. Personally, I think it's a very good overview for someone who's starting their exploration of the "Dark Age" period in the island's history and does an excellent job dispelling myths about post-Roman Britain. It's a quick and easy read, and a good way to get a better understanding of what we know (and what we don't know) about the AS period. Think of it as a transition between the "one chapter" you'll get in most history books or mass-market publications and the scholarly (and sometimes mind-numbingly dry) tomes you can find gathering dust on a lot of library shelves.
