from Ice Age to Norman ConquestDescription
Although based on the widely-acclaimed Channel 4 series Blood of the British, which the author, a lecturer at Cambridge presented, this written account includes much additional material and the results of research and further excavation that has taken place since the series was made. It is readable and ranges over much of Europe as well as every corner of the British Isles. This is a book not only for those with an interest in the history of these islands, but for anyone who is remotely interested in themselves and their origins in the Britain of centuries ago. Although much enriched by arrivals in recent centuries, there is also a great underlying thread of continuity in the present-day population. If it were possible to do so, some of us could trace our ancestry to the builders of Stonehenge, or the great hillforts.Category
