Down with the Dirty Danes!

<p>An hilarious story, told in letter form, about King Alfred – he who burnt the cakes, and his battles with the Vikings.</p> <p>Berwin, son of Egfrith, writes to Wulfric, son of Elred using his miraculous new talent of reading and writing. Berry’s spellings leave a lot to be desired and in his hilarious letters he tells a tale of mixups and mayhem when King Alfred hides in his family’s cottage but is mistaken for a Dirty Dane – their word for the Vikings. A completely new perspective on why and how those cakes got burned!</p> <p>Fast and very, very funny from the prize-winning author of The Demon Headmaster and other books.</p>
