A deep dive into one of the murkiest ages in our national history
... Morris is an accomplished guide to the tricksy Anglo-Saxon
world ... Clever, lively ... splendid new book.
*DAN JONES, Sunday Times*
An absolute masterpiece. It feels like the missing piece of
historiography on an essential period of our past. Marc Morris is
the platonic ideal of scholarly yet readable big history.
*DAN SNOW*
Brilliant ... Beautifully written, incredibly accessible and deeply
researched. I couldn't recommend it more highly.
*JAMES O’BRIEN*
Highly informative and hugely enjoyable. Marc Morris illuminates
England's weird and wonderful early history with erudition and
wit.
*IAN HISLOP*
A fascinating journey into the world of Anglo-Saxon Britain.
