I have just finished listening to the audio book of Lords of The North and wanted to say how much I enjoyed it, especially as I am a ‘northerner’ – Lancastrian. I am now on my third ‘listening’. To someone who grew up at a time when teachers read to us, listening to a book is always a joy and this series in particular, because of the content has been exceptional. You paint a wonderful picture of Saxon England – I think English History is sadly neglected these days. The one extra comment I would make is that the Richard Armitage reading of this book had enormously added to my pleasure in it, his changes of accent, nuances etc made the whole thing come alive. I eagerly look forward to being able to buy Sword Song in the same format and do hope that Mr. Armitage will again be the reader. Kind regards, June Young, Hapton, Nr. Burnley, Lancs.
