Title: Very, very badly written
Review: As badly written a book as I have ever encountered. I toiled through this dud because a good friend recommended it; now I doubt that friend had read it herself. Bragg puts a badly chosen modifier with nearly all his nouns - perhaps he wrote this at speed and put down whatever came into his head; surely this book had no editor. And we don't learn much about life or customs or important matters in 7th century northern England. Bragg needs a good critic: someone to tell him to shape up and learn to write decent prose, not the ponderous, inflated stuff in this book.
