I found it interesting when it told you how to make a pen out of a birds feather.

This was good to learn about the history of the Saxons but I found some of the facts gross!

I thought that it was amazing.It included fact that not many people know about and I love how it included them in a way that it is interesting.It isn’t like other history books and I adore the illustrations.I would recommend this book to everyone as it is so fascinating and interesting and an added bonus is that you learn new facts .I also love how the author made the book interesting and kid friendly.

I liked this book because I prefer nonfiction and I have read many of the Horrible Histories as History interests me. Did you know that one Saxon King actually paid a Viking King to go away?

I think people should read this book because it is fascinating. It has quizzes and horrible facts about the Anglo-Saxons.

It was educational and very interesting. It was quite funny and there was just the right balance of pictures and words.

I learnt lots about Saxons and some of the book was funny, but some of the Saxon names were weird!
