Reviews

[Lauren Stoolfire]

Anglo-Saxon England by Jennifer Laing and Lloyd Laing is interesting history book, but the style of the writing wasn't quite for me. There were certain things I was looking forward to reading when it came to those early kings and royalty, but it just wasn't there.

[Sherrill Watson]

As the blurb states, covers the time from A.D. 400 to approximately 1200. A leaned and complete little book. There are black & white photos on nearly every page, though most are enigmas, at least to me. Written in 1979, re-published in 1982. A book I could put down, and yet it was mildly interesting.

[Thom Dunn]

Fifth in a series of five book set: BRITAIN BEFORE THE CONQUEST: An Archaeological History of the British Isles, c. 1500 BC -- AD 1066

[Sarah - All The Book Blog Names Are Taken]

Really, probably 3.5 stars. Disappointing because this is the one I most looked forward to in the series. Not terrible but would've liked to have read of more if the early kings.
