hi Bernard, just reading The Last Kingdom and have seen Lords of the North in the shops so I had to check your website for the title of the second book. I don’t think I can ever forgive my history teachers at grammar school for making the subject so boring, all I remember is dates, dates, dates!!! if only they had given me one of your books to read then i wouldn’t have been in such a hurry to get outside and play football! well, I’m certainly making up for lost time now! thanks for taking the time to read this. regards…….Jim {western australia ]
