An accessible read for anyone wanting to learn about Anglo Saxon England. That isn't to say it is an easy read there is a great deal of depth and factual information. However it is well laid out dealing with the progress and process starting with the organisation of the early settlements and the development of rule and religion, moving onto individual counties. Lastly and this forms almost half of the book, the Author gives a County by County overview of sites and finds of interest with accompanying photography. There are detailed reference lists and a n extensive bibliography. On a personal note my only niggle is that the author places Great Urswick in Lancashire, it hasn't been part of the County since the boundary changes of 1974 and is now firmly ensconced in Cumbria
