<p>An hilarious story, told in letter form, about King Alfred &#8211; he who burnt the cakes, and his battles with the Vikings.</p>
<p>Berwin, son of Egfrith, writes to Wulfric, son of Elred using his miraculous new talent of reading and writing. Berry&#8217;s spellings leave a lot to be desired and in his hilarious letters he tells a tale of mixups and mayhem when King Alfred hides in his family&#8217;s cottage but is mistaken for a Dirty Dane &#8211; their word for the Vikings. A completely new perspective on why and how those cakes got burned!</p>
<p>Fast and very, very funny from the prize-winning author of The Demon Headmaster and other books.</p>
