Makers of History: Alfred the Great

Jacob Abbott

A Very Good- edition that has tanned pages, soiling to the boards and some chipping to the lower board edges.

A fascinating and well-researched biography of Alfred the Great, king of Wessex from 871-899. Abbott does a great job of contextualizing Alfred within the changing political landscape of the 8th century, and he paints a nuanced portrait of a ruler who was both brilliant and ruthless. Highly recommend.; Vol. 2; 8vo; 229 pages.
