Title: History and fiction combined into an excellent read
Review: This book was recommended to me by a friend and I have to admit to being sceptical about reading what I thought was a history book,(not my scene). Prepare to be proved wrong all those who think (like I did) that a book about the Battle of Hastings will be boring.The author has done an excellent job of combining fact with fiction in such a way that will make you want to keep on reading. The battle scenes are described so vividly that you could almost be there.After reading this book I certainly want to visit the site of Hastings, knowing that with the authors attention to detail, I will be able to imagine how it must have looked and felt to be standing there ready for battle in 1066.I thank Mr Brown for not only providing me with a very good read, but also for teaching me a bit of history about my home country.I look forward to any future books that Laurence J. Brown will be writing and can guarantee they will be on my wish list.
