Praise for The Lords of the North: -
”'Beautifully crafted story-telling, complete with splendid set-piece battles and relentless derring-do, so gripping that it rarely stops to catch a breath. It demonstrates once again Cornwell’s enormous skill as a historical narrator. He would have graced Alfred’s court entertaining the guests with his stories” - Daily Mail
‘Cornwell takes the spectres of ninth century history and puts flesh back on their bones. Here is Alfred's world restored - impeccably researched and illuminated with the colour and passion of a master storyteller’Justin Pollard, author of ‘Alfred the Great’ -
Praise for Bernard Cornwell: -

'Cornwell's narration is quite masterly and supremely well-researched' Observer -
