Discover the Anglo-Saxons introduces young readers to key figures, aspects and themes of Anglo-Saxon Britain.

The books feature an appealingly graphic, young, colourful approach, with one large image per spread plus fact and feature boxes, timelines, places to visit and further resources. Religion and Saints looks at the importance of religion in Anglo-Saxon culture.

Beginning with the conversion of the Anglo-Saxons and the foundation of great monastic centres of Canterbury, Iona and Lindisfarne, the book covers the worship of saints such Cuthbert and Aldhelm, the rise of monasteries and dioceses and the relationship of kings such as Alfred and Athelstan to the Church and its teachings.
