(2) YA Sutcliff tells the story of the last Vikings in Britain being pushed back by the conquering Normans. The story alternates between Frytha, a Saxon girl taken in by Norsemen, and Bjorn, an apprentice harper. The sense of place is vivid, the action fierce and brutal, and the historical record never compromised by any quest for a happy ending.
