Toni Kely-Brown's Reviews > The Anglo-Saxons: A History of the Beginnings of England

I LOVE history, ever since I studied it in high school. I particularly LOVE British history. I first listened to on on audio (about 14 hours) and then I ordered a hardcover edition of the book and as soon as it arrived, I read it again (about 500 pages). And I have no doubt I will re-read it regularly.

The author Marc Morris has written a very readable, educational and entertaining book about the Anglo-Saxons. It starts with the fall of Roman Britain and then takes the reader on a journey of the migrations of the Angles and the Saxons, the rise of Christianity (which was fascinating) and the devastating Viking raids up to the Norman Conquest. Marc Morris covers major events, myths and stories of individuals who were instrumental in shaping the concept of England as one nation.
