The Last Kingdom Series Series Books 1 - 3 Collection Set by Bernard Cornwell (The Last Kingdom, The Pale Horseman & The Lords of the North)

Very good read good value for money will definitely buy the other 6 books

a really great read

Bought as a gift. A must read.

Brilliant to read something so historic and factual.Far better than the film version but isn't that always a given but still good.

A great read and very educational despite being fiction. Cornwell researchs his topic well.

Books arrived very quickly, well packed and in strong box to keep the set in. I have not started reading them yet as I have been so engrossed in the TV series and realise that there will be differences in the written and filmed versions but I have no doubt that the books will be wonderful.The TV series is absolutely brilliant in terms of production and acting throughout - Uhtred is a spellbinding central role and his complex character is brought to life and played to perfection - I have been on the edge of my seat throughout the whole of series 2.

I watched the TV series when it came out and enjoyed it. However, as with the Sharpe series a film production just can not capture the writing of Bernard Cornwell . So I thought it was time to read the books and I would recommend to anyone who enjoyed that enjoyed the story on film to go back and read the books. Typical Cornwell page turners every one with the bonus of comparing the variations between the two, You will prefer the books, I know I did.

My husband was really happy reading these
