Series: The Ladybird Expert Series

An accessible, authoritative, and enlightening introduction to

thelfl d, the most influential woman that English history forgot

Part of the new Ladybird Expert series,

thelfl d is an accessible, authoritative, and enlightening introduction to the most influential woman that English history forgot.

Today, few remember

thelfl d. The daughter, sister and aunt of great kings, she was a ruler as remarkable as any of them.

She planted cities, she sponsored learning, and she defeated the enemies of her people.

It was on the foundations laid by

thelfl d that a new kingdom would come to be built- a kingdom that lasts to this day.

Written by historian Tom Holland,

thelfl d puts a spotlight on this formidable leader, pulling her out of the shadowy history of the dark ages. England owes much to her founding mother.

Written by the leading lights and most outstanding communicators in their fields, the Ladybird Expert books provide clear, accessible and authoritative introductions to subjects drawn from science, history and culture.

For an adult readership, the Ladybird Expert series is produced in the same iconic small hardback format pioneered by the original Ladybirds. Each beautifully illustrated book features the first new illustrations produced in the original Ladybird style for nearly forty years.
