Ancient murder ballad revisted

 

⭑⭑⭑  I have read a number of books this year focusing on ancient Britain and the various groups who ruled our shores in times gone by. This novel focuses on the struggles of pagans at a time when Christianity was taking hold thus weakening the magical powers and faith in nature.

I was not aware of the ancient murder ballad this story is based on. What a lovely, though tragic tale beautiful retold, here. A good novel for anyone who has an interest in ancient Britain.
