Summary
Bring history back to life through Jim Hodges' historically accurate, exciting, and edifying audio recordings.
When Harold Godwinson is crowned king of England in 1066, William of Normandy contests his right to be king because of an oath Harold had earlier sworn to support William's own acquisition of the throne. Henty's treatment of this critical time in history of the English people is even-handed, and his portrayal of Harold Godwinson - a king much neglected in our day - is a sympathetic one. Wulf of Steyning, a young Saxon thane in the service of Earl Harold, accompanies him on his fateful trip to Normandy and takes part in the Welsh wars, the Battle of Stamford Bridge, and the Battle of Hastings. Growing to manhood in such tumultuous times, Wulf's fidelity and honor earn him the respect of all he serves.
The Henty Historical Novel Collection, written by George Henty in the 1800s, covers many time periods in history throughout the world. In this collection you will learn history, geography, and vocabulary while also discovering hero characters for your children to emulate.

Disappointing
The narrator's American accent did the Anglo Saxon/Norman story no favours. The production company ought to listen to the story before release to ensure pronouciation errors are picked up. English place names were particularly mangled.
I was eventually too irritated to finish listening.
If I had paid to listen to this I would have been very annoyed.

So boring
I had such high hopes for this book from the description and I really love this era of history but the narrator was wrong for it somehow and it was so boring that I just couldn’t finish it!

Irritating Narrating Voice
Can't take the fast talking, and the American accent was out of place for a story set in the England
