Discover the Anglo-Saxons: Art and Culture

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. Art and Culture offers a look at sacred and secular art in Anglo-Saxon times, including illuminated manuscripts, jewellery and weapons.

It examines the role of monasteries in the creation of books and the preservation of learning, and investigates literature, such as chronicles and stories.
