The Story of King Alfred by Walter Besant is a historical account of the life of King Alfred the Great, who ruled the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex from 871 to 899 AD. The book traces Alfred's life from his early years as a young prince, through his struggles against the invading Vikings, to his eventual triumph and establishment of a unified England. Besant's narrative is richly detailed and offers a vivid portrayal of the tumultuous times in which Alfred lived. The book also explores Alfred's legacy, including his contributions to English law, language, and culture. With its engaging style and thorough research, The Story of King Alfred is an informative and entertaining read for anyone interested in medieval history or the life of one of England's most revered monarchs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
