First of all, let me say that I adore the Saxon stories…I am waiting impatiently for the next book about Uhtred. I saw The Last Kingdom at a bookstore and bought it because I was out of good reading. I was hooked instantly and devoured the first 3 books! Now I’ve read Sword Song and all I can say is write faster!! ;0) But the true purpose for this message is about Uhtred’s favorite saying “wyrd bid ful araed”…I love it but want to make sure I have the definition and spelling correct. can you please confirm spelling and the definition? Thankyou so much! Blythe
