England Editorial Review
**Editorial Review** Ed West's "1066 and Before All That: The Battle of Hastings, Anglo-Saxon and Norman England" is a refreshing take on a period often described as overly complex and dreary in traditional history literature. With a witty and humorous writing style, West manages to entertain while educating his readers about significant events leading up to the Battle of Hastings. The book is praised for its brevity and succinctness, making it an accessible overview for anyone looking to understand this pivotal moment in English history without wading through extensive texts. Readers appreciate how West challenges historical narratives, encouraging critical thinking about the past. His comparisons between harsh medieval punishments and contemporary justice systems add a unique touch of relatability, making history feel more alive and relevant. The book's exploration of Anglo-Saxon and Norman lineage and the resultant linguistic transformations enriches the narrative, offering insights that many readers may find both enlightening and fascinating. The conversational tone of the writing resonates well with many, though some readers mention that the humor occasionally borders on distraction. Nonetheless, those with a casual interest in history, or who prefer entertaining accounts over strict academic treatment, are likely to find this book a delightful addition to their reading list. While there are some noted grammatical errors in the Kindle version, these do not significantly detract from the overall experience. Overall, West's work distills a complicated period into a fun and informative read, making it an excellent resource for those looking to overcome their apprehension toward history. **
