Review: Best book I have on Anglo saxons - Good delivery and book very indepth of the saxons
Review: Highly Recommended! - On the High Street there are quite a few books on the Anglo-Saxons, all readable and I have read quite a few. But, this book is rather different in that in goes that it goes a deal further in explaining the Anglo-Saxons. It could well be that the author had a very academic background and this shows most strongly in the books contents. Most books you can read as much in Wikipedia. A book unique on the High Street.
