Review: The Beginnings of English Society (The Pelican History of England #2)

User Review  - Suzanne - Goodreads

This is the series that we used at Michigan State back in the day. It is clear, understandable and factual writing. Gives you a great overview. I look back on the classes where it was used with great fondness. The texts didn't detract from that enjoyment. Read full review
