Read by Derek Jacobi
In the year 1000 the world was one of mystery and magicians, monks, warriors
and wandering merchants - people who feared an apocalypse and who had no idea
what year it was or what lay beyond the nearest valley. It was a world of dark
forests and Viking adventures in which fear was real and death a constant
companion. People felt they walked hand-in-hand with God, and envisaged him
so literally that even Christians were sometimes buried with supplies for
the journey to the new life in heaven. Narrated through the progression of
the seasons, this book presents a recreation of English life at the end of
the first millennium AD
