Autumn 1066: When Anglo-Saxon dominance ended (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781546685302)

Down the centuries the British Isles has always been seen by invaders as a legitimate target for exploitation. This novella concerns the last few weeks of Anglo-Saxon occupation, ending on the 14th of October, 1066. In Autumn 1066, author Jack Eason gives a great sense of 'place', of detail. The reader is right 'there' in that poignant year, marching, shivering with September cold (as '...no warming fires were allowed lest 'enemy spies would soon spot their approach.') From the very first few lines, Eason, practising his unique drycraft, begins to weave his particular brand of magic on his reader. Eason glamour's with well-crafted dialogue, drawing his reader into the time and into the action. To accomplish this, the author proffers a gentle blend of informative nomenclature coupled with familiar speech, to ease the reader into his story without distancing with words too unfamiliar, which is a criticism frequently made of Bernard Cornwell's epics.
