About my Second Book
The Reckoning of King Rędwald:
The Story of the King linked to the Sutton Hoo Ship-Burial
Thanks to the visionary inspiration of Mrs Edith May
Pretty, the great ship-burial from Mound One at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk was
revealed by archaeologist Mr Basil Brown in 1939 and found to contain some of
the richest treasure ever discovered on the island of Britain. Many people
have been enchanted by the wonder of this treasure, which has shone a brilliant
light into the shadowy history of the early seventh century.
So who was the king who lay in such majesty amidships? This book restates the case for King Rędwald with a consideration of his place in history as one of the first kings of all England and a central figure in the coming of Christianity.
"The range of consultation and learning is exemplary and reflected in this splendidly wide-ranging and persuasive life of that most important figure in East Anglias formative history; Ive no doubt that it will establish itself as the standard Life!" (Norman Scarfe)
