A review by bookgazing
Athelstan (Penguin Monarchs): The Making of England by Tom Holland

A really interesting introduction to Athelstan as well as Alfred, Edward, and Aethelflaed which shows how these personalities established a collected England, and influenced the shaping of Britain.

No rating because it seems weird to rate books which are essentially an introduction series to big subjects, but a really good starting point for anyone interested in this period of royal history.
