'Annie Whitehead does an excellent job of navigating the wealth of myths and legends in search of historical evidence to find what we can learn about Anglo-Saxon values and society. I’ve learned more than I expected from this highly readable new book, and like how Annie Whitehead’s passion for the subject shines through. Highly recommended.'
