It was really interesting and the Saxons had some strange and funny ways of doing things. I really liked how on every page there was a picture to go with the writing in a Comic book style. Some of the recipes in it sound delicious!

It was funny and interesting. There were also lots of gags. There was also a bit of information about Vikings and when they invaded England. I would recommmend this book to people who like gags jokes and quizzes. Also it talked about Saxon culture and ways of punishing people.

It was interesting and enjoyable to read. This book tells you things like how Ethelred II got the nickname " The Unready " I liked the illustrations and the chapter names. It was easy to read.
