Harald Hardnut by Tony Bradman

Harald Hardnut by Tony Bradman

I reviewed this book because we are learning about the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings in our topic. Harald Hardnut was a Viking king who came over to invade England about a thousand years ago. He was really tough and enjoyed fighting. He had two friends called Ulf and Haldor who both tried to calm him down. Did you know that Harald was killed in a battle against King Harold, who was then killed by William the Conqueror? There were a lot of battles in those days.

This is a really fun book to read. I learned a lot of history and a lot about how much fighting kings used to like doing. It's quite short so it's great if you are in a bit of a hurry to go out. I think the author must have enjoyed finding out about Harald and then turning it into a great story. This book gets 9.3 out of 10.
