"This book is not just the first edition with a translation of the Peterborough Chronicle, it is a magnificently produced work of scholarship. Lavishly illustrated, it will become the basis for all future work, not just on the Chronicle, but on the worlds that produced it and the history that it records" — David Bates, Emeritus Professor in Medieval History, University of East Anglia.
