      Enchanting tales of the gods, kings, and monsters that populated the Anglo-Saxon world.

      Enchanting tales of the gods, kings, and monsters that populated the Anglo-Saxon world.

      An atmospheric collection of 30 folk tales exploring stories of cosmology, monsters, conflicts and courtship from the Seven Kingdoms to Middle Earth. This is an entertaining portal into a world overflowing with mythology, magic and all manner of beguiling creatures, which has inspired everything from the Lord of the Rings to Game of Thrones.

      The book is divided into 3 parts:

      • Scop is a set of stories told by the Anglo-Saxon storyteller Scop, from the creation to the destruction of the world. It explores what remains of the gods and monsters of the Anglo-Saxon cosmology.
      • Wreccan is pagan stories exploring self-discovery and development through exile. Variations of these tales would have told by the Anglo-Saxons themselves, including Sigemund''s rebellion and the trials of Beowulf.
      • Bretwalda stories revolve around Bretwalda the chief Anglo-Saxon king who ruled over the majority of the Seven Kingdoms. These stories reflect a period when both the old gods and Christianity existed simultaneously.

      Remarkable illustrations by Jesús Sotés breathe new life into these tales of the past.
