"Good solid reading for history buffs or those interested in expanding their awareness about an important time in human history. Nonfictional information about the historical events and social milieu during the dark ages."
"Not a Hx of the Dark Ages as such, but a Hx of England (South of the Humber) from 60ad/ce (ish) until 1066 (ish) using some big historical characters as the main points of ref. Good primer but not huge depth, good read though without getting too bogged down in detail."
By Pete,
The Diggley Dell, Micronesia, Federated States of
"This was the t.v. series that first turned me on to Anglo-Saxon history, and I loved this book too. Michael Wood has a style that is infectious, and he's right at home in the 'dark ages'."
