Alfred the Great

"Alfred the Great" by Frederic Harrison is a compelling portrait of one of England’s most revered monarchs—more than a warrior king, Alfred was a thinker, a reformer, and a visionary. With crisp prose and historical insight, Harrison brings to life the story of a man who defended his people from invasion, nurtured learning in a dark age, and helped lay the foundation of English law and identity. This is history with heart and clarity—perfect for readers drawn to leadership, legacy, and the soul of a nation.
"Alfred the Great" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1899.
