After discovering Bernard Cornwell's 'The Last Kingdom' series years ago, I've decided to collect the set. This volume is Number 2 of 13. Wish school history had been more like this! Long live Uhtred and Alfred. Cornwell brings "history" to life. Useful to have placenames and maps included as well.

This book is a follow on from The Last Kingdom and is the second in the series of 5 books. They are written by Bernard Cornwell who wrote the Sharpe series of books. They are an easy enjoyable read, one that makes you want to keep reading to find out what happens next, always a twist. The series follows the exploits of a Uhtred - the son of the earl of Northumbria, who as a boy lost his father in a battle with the Danes, he is then taken in by Radnor, raised as a Dane, only to end up serving King Alfred fighting against the Danes, wanting his birth right restored. Still reading and looking forward to the next book already. This read is a mixture of fiction and facts, which brings reality to it. Well done Bernard, this would make a great TV series.
Amazing, as perfect condition, very well protected for posting. brilliant book as part of a series
