Hello, I am sixteen years old and I have absolutely fallen in love with your Saxon Stories which were recommended to me by a teacher. I am extremely interested in the Viking Invasions of England, but in all the Historical Documentaries (films) on the Viking Invasions that I have seen they do not talk about the Danes, only the Norwegians. I was wondering what sources or books that you know of that you could recommend for me about the Danish Vikings who invaded England during the time of King Alfred the Great. Also if there are any Historical Fiction novels of the Vikings and their Invasions that you would recommend.

I am extremely excited to read The Burning Land, and I love your protagonist in the story, Uhtred. To me he is my favorite protagonist in all literature and I really love all his internal qualms and how richly you developed him into a person. And I think it’s really cool that he was based off of your ancestor? Thank you so much! Manon W.
