concise and engaging overview
[...]This bundle by Enthralling History offers a concise and engaging overview of two pivotal eras in English history. The first part vividly covers the Anglo-Saxon period, from the fall of Roman Britain to the Battle of Hastings. The second part explores medieval life, touching on key events like the Black Death and the rise of the Church.While the book is informative and accessible, some minors editorial inconsistencies and redundancies between the two sections are noticeable. Despite this, it’s a solid introduction for anyone interested in England’s early history.I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
