The Anglo-Saxons (Penguin History)

Although I’ve only had a few hours of reading this book, I am enjoying it so much, there is so much to learn, I am very pleased with this book!

Good but old book

Excellent info on the Angels and the Saxons. Maps showing settlements and other pertinent locations, many black and white pictures and many beautiful color photos. There is a full page picture of a helmet found in the Sutton Hoo excavation believed to have belonged to the great Saxon King Redwald. This picture alone is worth the price of the book, as far as I am concerned. However, You will find much more on the Sutton Hoo excavation which is one of the most exciting excavations I have read about. Chapter 1 of the book gives info on the end of the Roman era. Then in Chapter 2 the authors give you a rundown of the Germanic peoples who invaded England who were mainly the Saxons, Angles and some Jutes. This is a comprehensive book about how England became England and if you have any interest at all in England you should love this book, and if you can look at the picture of the Sutton Hoo Helmet and not want to hang it on your wall I would not believe it. Just please don't tear it out of the book. I copied mine and it is good as the pic in the book and it will go on my wall.

Good delivery and book very indepth of the saxons

A treasure house and an extraordinary record.
