Beautifully written, concise, learned and full of care for her subject.

A very thorough and interesting assessment of the life and works of St Bede the Venerable, particularly concerning his influence on the rest of Europe and European history in general. He was a lot more influential than most folks realize - if you've written a date as A.D. anytime, you are referring back to St Bede, who was the person who set that whole system up, back in the 700s AD (see what I did there?). A good read.
