I bought “The Last Kingdom” last weekend and have found it impossible to put down. As with the chronicles of Arthur and the Grail quest books, you really succeed in relating the characters and events to the reader. I have studied Viking history for a few years and am Asatru myself, so to read a book that does not demonise the faith was a breath of fresh air. It has also encouraged me to look closer into the history of my town, Wimborne Minster in Dorset. Thank you once again for writing such a compelling and, in places, often moving story. I look forward to the rest!! There are few books that involve us pagans and I have always revelled in the fact that you can write from a pagan perspective. Thanks again and keep up the excellent work. Graham Lovell
