The first good thing to note about this book is that is doesn't open with an off-topic chapter on Roman Britain like several other works I've read on the Anglo-Saxons.

Although a little dull and bland at times, "Daily Life in Anglo-Saxon England" is worthwhile reading if this topic is to your interest. It should've been "Britain", though, not "England", considering England didn't come into being until the latter stages of the AS period. The author also refers to Alfred the Great as the King of England before England was formed, which is a careless error.

I'm pleased the author spent a lot of time focusing on the earlier AS centuries. Many other books focus more on the Roman period than they do on the first 300 years of AS settlement.

Overall, then, this is an informative read. ( )

EXcellent book! Daily life is exactly what reenactors want to read about ( )
