Read all ten Lost Tales compiled in one edition. Ten short stories explore Anglo-Saxon England through the eyes of ten intertwined lives: from a blushing maid to a bold mother, from a daring soldier to an unready king, and many others. The tales introduce the people who will fight, love, and betray each other until the rightful king claims the throne in the novel, "Eadric the Grasper."
This is a collection of short stories, which you can download separately for free as well. Which I did and it looks great on my NookColor haha
Each story is about a different person all taking place during the years of an ongoing war. Royalty, Vikings, peasants, children- These stories cover all kinds of people and they are ALL interesting to read about, especially because they eventually tie in together. I want MORE!

The tales seem unconnected at first, and at the end of each I felt frustration at being left hanging. I began each new tale confused about where these new characters fit into the last tale, and read on, hoping for more about the last tale. By the end of the book, I saw a few connections between the tales and desperately wanted more! I was satisfied with more in Eadric the Grasper and Godric the Kingslayer - both wonderful full stories stemming from the tales and beginning the work of connecting the tales. I highly recommend the these tales, as well as the Sons of Mercia series that ties them together!

This book is only a sample of the book, not the complete version.

Love the short stories. I find that when I finish one I quickly go to the next. The stories are short enough to read easily but keep the interest up. Can't wait to Eadric the Grasper.

These interwoven tales are quite enjoyable. I couldn't put it down. Although fictionalized, these true to history events come alive in all their glory. The political implications of dry historical facts brings Mercia to life. So good that I had to buy another in the series.

I highly recommend this book (and the follow-up Eric the Grasper) as "required reading" for dark ages reading buffs!

These ten "Lost Tales" were interestingly written, though their very disjointed nature only loosely left me wanting something to tie them up with a ribbon. I haven't yet read the book these "Lost Tales" are supposed to introduce, and I have every hope that it succeeds where these rambling stories leave me dissatisfied.

It was extriemely good. It was just the 10 'lost' tales which are free but sill enjoyable. One quesiion is r these the real full tales? They seem too short to me.

It was a very good read, if somewhat disjointed because it was just the '10 lost tales' put together in a book. Still.. I enjoyed it
