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>

Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<em>&quot;Once again Alan J. Garner has achieved a masterful result by weaving a great tale about the survival of prehistoric life. Like his first effort,</em> Chosen Too<em> makes for a riveting story. I found it hard to put the book down. It was an absolute pleasure to read.&quot;<br /><br /></em>Simone Outshoorn<br />Auckland, New Zealand<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><em>&quot;</em>Chosen Too<em> is a very thought-provoking and evocative tale about the emergence of man. One leaves it with the feeling that it is an episode. I will be looking forward with eager anticipation to more revealing sequels.&quot;<br /><br /></em>Gavin G.<br />Hawke's Bay, New Zealand<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
