Short Review: Early history is often based on a lot of conjecture because we just don't have a lot of details to work with. But this is very good. It doesn't seem to make up details.

There is a good mix of the history of kings that we tend to know a lot about. And sections about living conditions and environment for the rest of the population. And stories. There are lots of stories here. Also some very interesting linguistic sections, especially around place names.

This is the first of a trilogy of histories about England. I will pick the rest up eventually.
