A.D. 500 3 reviews Simon Young
PHOENIX (ORIO), 2006
Entertaining, but not ground breaking.
+ Unconventional travel guide

Scotland: The Story of a Nation 14 reviews Magnus Magnusson
Grove Press, 2003
Fascinating read!
+ Great historical view of the Scots and their nation + Excellent Read!

The Pale Horseman (The Saxon Chronicles Series #2) 59 reviews Bernard Cornwell
HarperCollins, 2006
Riveting Narration (Review of Audio)
+ The Pale Horseman + A Lusty Adventure Tale
I listened to the audio CD from the library. Tom Sellwood's narration is spellbinding. Each character's voice is so realistic the story comes to life. You can listen to a portion on the audible download link. I would recommend reading the series in order since character development begins with ...
