I'd like to start reading this period.
Can anyone suggest some good books of this era to try?

Anne, check out the thread Annis started the other day on the Anglo-Saxon period: http://www.historicalfictiononline.com/ ... php?t=4795. Some of the novels mentioned are reviewed both at HistoricalNovels.info and in the book reviews section here, I believe.
Browse over 5000 historical novel listings (probably well over 5000 by now, but I haven't re-counted lately) and over 700 reviews at www.HistoricalNovels.info
At one stage we started a thread about books set around the Battle of Hastings and several forum members added favourites there. You might like to have a look at that too.

I'm intrigued by a novel someone else mentioned recently called The Wordsmith's Tale by Stephen Edden - I might have to check that one out
