The Magical World of the Anglo-Saxons

by Tylluan Penry, Drew Thomas (Illustrator)

This book invites the reader to enter the magical world of the early, heathen Anglo-Saxons. Often mistakenly regarded as the harbingers of the 'Dark Ages', instead Tylluan shows their vivid world that refused to be suppressed by Christian missionaries. Tylluan is careful to separate the true Anglo-Saxon from the Norse and Germanic traditions wherever possible, so that this well referenced book offers a truly magical Anglo-Saxon experience.

I would love to give this book more stars because there is a wealth of fascinating information here. Unfortunately, the author's chatty tone and Christian-bashing ended up irritating me so much that I didn't finish reading it.

A lovely booklet that is signed by the author, having been sent directly from the publisher. A very nice touch and appreciated.
The book itself has an easy going but authoritative way for the reader so the information is trusted. The author dispels some myths by stating that research into the Saxons is fraught with some difficulty so it is refreshing to read what is known rather than just romantic ideas.

An Excellent reference for my historical research.
