Description

<p>In 1066, the rivalry between two brothers brought England to its knees. When Duke William of Normandy landed at Pevensey on September 28, 1066, no one was there to resist him. King Harold Godwineson was in the north, fighting his brother Tostig and a fierce Viking invasion. How could this have happened? Why would Tostig turn traitor to wreak revenge on his brother?<br />The Sons of Godwine were not always enemies. It took a massive Northumbrian uprising to tear them apart, making Tostig an exile and Harold his sworn enemy. And when 1066 came to an end, all the Godwinesons were dead except one: Wulfnoth, hostage in Normandy. For two generations, Godwine and his sons were a mighty force, but their power faded away as the Anglo-Saxon era came to a close.</p>

<h3 class="productDescriptionSource" style="font-size:1.23em;margin:.75em 0px .375em -15px;clear:left;font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:normal;"> </h3> <div class="productDescriptionWrapper" style="margin:0px 0px 1em;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;"><i>&quot;I, Walter</i> is a grand tale of adventure that reminds me of the Patrick O'Brien's <i>Aubrey/Maturin </i>adventure series but with a noble innocence and, a most refreshing, charming slant. Romance, adventure, mystery, rescues, deception, and vivid descriptions make<i> I, Walter </i>a most enjoyable and inspirational read of chivalry. This CBR reviewer looks forward to reading more of the Crofter saga from Mike Hartner.&quot; Chanticleer Book Reviews<br /> &quot; This book truly is New York Best-seller material!&quot; Charity_Langley (goodreads.com)<br /><br /> &quot;This book would certainly be a big budget Hollywood movie, one day, if any producer has an imagination as rife as the writer of this book. Worth a read!&quot; Namta Gupta, Bookpleasures.com<br /><br /> From HB Pearse Wheatley, via netgalley.com, <br /> &quot;Excellent book. It evokes the era perfectly. It was a delight to read and I was sorry to finish it as it felt as if I was leaving a friend behind.&quot; <div class="emptyClear" style="clear:left;height:0px;font-size:0px;"> </div> </div>
