Tales of the Saxons by Emily Taylor is a collection of stories that revolve around the Saxons, a Germanic tribe that inhabited England during the early Middle Ages. The book is divided into various sections, each of which tells a different story about the Saxons and their way of life. The first section of the book focuses on the Saxon gods and goddesses, including Woden, Thunor, and Frig. The second section delves into the Saxon way of life, including their customs, traditions, and daily routines. The third section explores the Saxon's relationship with nature and how they used natural resources to survive. The fourth section of the book is dedicated to the Saxon's battles and wars, including their conflicts with the Vikings and the Normans. The fifth section tells the tales of famous Saxon figures, such as King Alfred the Great and Lady Godiva. Throughout the book, Taylor weaves together historical facts and fiction to create a vivid picture of the Saxons and their world. The stories are engaging and informative, making this book an excellent resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Saxons. Overall, Tales of the Saxons is a compelling and well-written book that offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era.1832.

Tales include: Haco the Good; Hereward the Saxon; and The Forester's Daughter.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
