Editorial Reviews

First published in Britain in 1982. Ashe weaves all the different accounts--legends, literature, historical documents--into a continuous narrative that recounts the rulers and events of early Britain from Geoffrey of Monmouth's doubtful Brutus the Trojan around 1100 B.C. through Alfred, the greatest of the Saxon kings, in 871 A.D.
