Publisher's Synopsis
It's not easy being Anglo-Saxon royalty. As well as fighting off rampaging axe-happy Vikings, you are going to have your noble hands full fighting off rival members of your own family! No one could have imagined that Alfred, the youngest surviving son of King Ethelwulf would grow into England's wisest and most inspirational ruler. This diary, written from the perspective of the young Alfred (with the help of his scribe Godric) takes readers through the major events in his action-packed childhood.
