The Last English King

Julian Rathbone

A fictionalised story of the succession from Edwin to Harold in the 11th Century, leading up to the Norman invasion. Seán felt that if John Major had written a historical novel then this would be it because the writing was flat, deadpan and completely unemotional and conveyed an unrealistically romantic and idyllic picture of pre-Norman England. An irritating book.
