If you thought £20 was a bit much to pay for the hardback edition of In Search of Alfred the Great: the King, the Grave, the Legend (and although it has lots of pictures and diagrams and some lovely words, that is quite a lot of money) then now is the time to click on the link – for the lovely people at Amberley Publishing have just released it in paperback. So, sit back and discover just why Alfred is the only king of England to be called ‘great’.
