Excellent

I'm an avid reader of historical works but have always avoided Anglo Saxon history. However, I decided to bite the bullet with this excellent book and was entirely absorbed. Horspool has mastered a dense subject with a lightness of touch and freshness of voice. I could not reccommend it more highly.

Superb!

A brilliantly incisive examination of the progress of a myth. David Horspool writes about with admirable humour, an enviable ability to assimilate a wide range of sources, and a sureness of historical touch which makes this the best book on Alfred I've ever read.
