A very informative book with lots of illustrations that suffers from a rather academic, dull writing style. The authors missed an opportunity to bring this period of English history to life in the way that other writers such as Simon Schama can do. Also at times, the writing is characterised by over-long sentences and unecessary detail, when a summary would have sufficed. Yet at other times, a little more relevant detail would have been welcomed. Some of the academic side-issues would have been better placed in the notes at the end of the book. In general, better editing by J. Campbell would have improved matters. Despite the above negative points, I would recommend the book for anybody wishing to learn more about the Anglo-Saxons.
