About my Second Book- The Reckoning of King R\u00e6dwald:\u00a0The Story of the King linked to the Sutton Hoo Ship-Burial<\/em><\/h2>\n

\"Book<\/a>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.\u00a0So who was the king who lay in such majesty amidships? This book restates the case for King R\u00e6dwald 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.<\/p>\n

“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 Anglia\u2019s formative history; I\u2019ve no doubt that it will establish itself as the standard Life!” (Norman Scarfe)<\/p>\n
