But it was also, for Bernard, the beginning of nearly two decades immersed in the Anglo-Saxon world. The series was originally born out of his curiosity about how Enland was created out of a myriad of smaller kingdoms and settlers from many invasions - but beyond the political rivalry and the battlefields, amid the remarkable characters fighting their corners, Bernard discovered an increasing interest in the day-to-day realities of Anglo-Saxon life. This book contains a combination of Cornwell's writings about Anglo-Saxon life and over 100 recipes by Suzanne Pollack based on historical research.| Item type | Home library | Class number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item reservations | |
