Now, I see you've read and raved about Bernard Cronwell's Saxon chronicles.

It is a harsh book, but I cried when King Leonidas gave his final speech. I'm such a sissy. :-) I really liked "Last of the Amazons" by Pressfield also.<br /><br />LezlieLezliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747969193923246804noreply@blogger.com
