The House of Wolf

Sir Tony Robinson - actor, presenter, historical expert and star of Blackadder and Time Team - makes his adult fiction debut with this earthy, entertaining and gloriously witty recreation of the Anglo-Saxons, Alfred the Great, and the making of England. The story follows Father Asser in a papal prison, the fading power of King Aethelwolf in Wessex, and a slave named Rhiannon in Lindisfarne, as their paths cross in an epic struggle between greed and idealism, ambition and betrayal, freedom and tyranny.
