This review is from: Wordhoard: Anglo-Saxon Stories (Hardcover)

This is a great compilation of Anglo-saxon stories. The writing is stark and blunt. It transports you back to the times of Alfred the Great, Canute, and Harold II.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique and fascinating!, May 28, 2000

This review is from: Wordhoard (Puffin Books) (Paperback)

This book is a collection of fictional Anglo-Saxon stories revolving around both ordinary and extraordinary people. From the first story of early Saxon conquest to the last story about King Harold II at the Battle of Hastings, the book will grip you. This is a must-read for any Anglo-Saxon buff.
