Anglo-Saxon Boy by Tony Bradman

Anglo-Saxon Boy by Tony Bradman

An action-packed Anglo-Saxon tale of one boy's journey to the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

In pacey prose for 8-10s, Tony Bradman’s Anglo-Saxon Boy lays out the adventures that befall Magnus, son of Harold Godwinson, in the run-up to the Battle of HastingsIt 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 *
