The Anglo-Saxons: A History of the Beginnings of England by Marc Morris
informative
slow-paced
4.0
A journey through the Anglo-Saxon period told through a focus in the stories of key personages: Bishop Wilfred,Offa of Mercia famous for his dyke, St. Wilfred, Alfred the Great, Æthelstan, St. Dunstan, Æthelred, Bishop Godwin & some pesky Vikings.
Throughout the weaknesses/limitations of sources are honestly highlighted & source discrepancies identified.
I found that whilst this is well written, my attention did lapse. This may have been better to read rather than listen by audio, which would have allowed me to focus more, although the narrator had a clear voice, engaging tone and was well-paced.
