Description
In the Land of Giants by Max Adams explores Britain's lost early medieval past through its material remnants. From buildings to landscapes, this beautifully written insight reveals the lives of peasants, kings, and others who shaped the island's history during an enigmatic period. Adams' ten walk narratives form a wider portrait of Britain, from York to Edinburgh, London to Anglesey, and many other locations in between. Part travelogue and expert reconstruction, IN THE LAND OF GIANTS offers a nuanced understanding of this pivotal era in British history.
