Opis

Life of King Alfred the Great: Everyone's heard of Peter the Great, Charlemagne (AKA Charles the Great) and Alexander the Great. But, what about Alfred the Great? He's England's greatest king and we can thank him for helping to create the English language, saving the British from the Vikings and a few other things. But, he didn't have it easy. Crowned king in his mid-20s, Alfred hid-out in marshes with only a handful of knights until he could unite a rag-tag group of peasant-farmers into an army that would take back England. This book makes history accessible to children and provides a real-life example of how faith in yourself and determination can overcome what may seem like insurmountable odds.
