*Pippa Bailey, New Statesman*
A vivid, sharply drawn story of seven centuries of profound
political change, told with wit, authority and shrewd historical
judgement. The Anglo-Saxons is a superbly clear and evocative
journey through England's beginnings, and Marc Morris is a
wonderful guide.
*Thomas Penn*
This is a much-needed book - an accessible, eminently readable
account of the peoples who first made England. It's a gripping
story, beautifully told!
*Bernard Cornwell, author of The Last Kingdom*
