Review In pacey prose for 8-10s, Tony Bradmans Anglo-Saxon Boy lays out the adventures that befall Magnus, son of Harold Godwinson, in the run-up to the Battle of Hastings. It is underpinned by historical fact (Magnus existed), and includes, satisfyingly, a grandmother who leads troops, as the story chronicles the making of a warrior. -- Nicolette Jones * The Sunday Times Culture magazine *"The action is fast-paced and the historic detail accurate. The reader is swept along with Magnus as his quest continues. Most know what happened to Harold, but this book explores why. The ending does not disappoint." * Historical Novel Society *Featured in a piece written by Tony Bradman in The School Librarian. * The School Librarian * Details ISBN1406363774 Author Sam Hart Year 2017 ISBN-10 1406363774 ISBN-13 9781406363777 Format Paperback Publication Date 2017-03-02 Media Book Illustrator Sam Hart Imprint Walker Books Ltd Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom DEWEY 823.92 Birth 1954 Pages 240 Publisher Walker Books Ltd Audience Age 9-12 Language English UK Release Date 2017-03-02 AU Release Date 2017-03-02 NZ Release Date 2017-03-02 Audience Children / Juvenile We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
