A Brief History of the Anglo-Saxons: The Beginnings of the English Nation by Geoffrey Hindley
informative
mysterious
reflective
slow-paced
2.5
Brief history of Anglo-Saxons, but a detailed history of Christianity in Britain.
Don’t get me wrong, they called it the dark ages for a reason and there were some interesting insights into the time in this book, but I was disappointed that there wasn’t more about Anglo-Saxon life in the book. There are mentions of Paganism and Woden, but no discussion on what that meant to the people.
