The Last Kingdom - first UK edition
by Bernard Cornwell - signed
The first in a new series, nothing less than a totally fresh look at a
historical figure we think we know: Alfred the Great. Cornwell’s protagonist is
Uhtred, caught in the conflict between the Danes and the English in the ninth
century. He is born into the English aristocracy, but loses his parents at the
age of ten and is raised in Viking fashion by a Dane. When massacres reign down
on both sides, Uhtred is torn between his loyalties--and when his family
disappears, a reckoning with a Viking chieftain is in the offing.
Book has black boards with gold lettering on the spine; flat-signed by the
author on the title page. Jacket is price-intact at £17.99, in mylar.
