4.5

 I first came across this when searching for new poetry to learn, then listened to a podcast episode about it, and finally found the audiobook to listen to during my road trip. I will definitely revisit this story. I love Chesterton’s style, especially in the exchange between Alfred and the Danes in their camp. This is also a poem I’d like to try memorizing, though I’m sure it’ll take me ages.
