"Must-Have" Resource for this History Writer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I checked this book out of my local library while working on a novel that is placed in Southern Scotland/Northern England in the 500's A.D/C.E. I needed to know the fauna of the area at this time. Not only did I learn this but I gleaned a host of other historical details about the times and people that raised, hunted and/or feared these animals. It is such an excellent resource - with a diverse bibliography that helped me get to prime sources - that I have chosen to purchase it for my personal library. The price tag is extremely reasonable for the in-depth information and stunning photography of this well written, easy to read book.
