Hi Bernard,
I’ve just finished reading the Uhtred of Bebbanburg series and loved it! I hope you are going to write some more about him, I’m gonna miss that guy. You’re right that English schools don’t seem to teach much history pre-1066, I don’t remember learning much about Saxons when I was at school. I’m now a big Alfred fan. I will do my best to take my kids to Athelney, which is just up the road and tell them of good King Alfred.
Many thanks for the stories,
Elli Cameron
