Review: Bernard Cornwell's The Death of Kings

King Alfred the Cakes

Calloo callay, o frabjous day, I've written a review of Bernard Cornwell's The Death of Kings for The jolly old Observer. It's about a warrior called Uhtred, and concerns the aftermath of the death of King Alfred. Read it here, kids. Apparently (this isn't in the Cornwell, but there was a book about it recently) he didn't burn the cakes after all. So there you go.
