Wulf the Saxon is a classic George Henty tale of nobility, loyalty and courage set in 11th century Britain. It relates the adventures of Wulf, a young, but extremely capable Saxon Thane.

Book is excellent adventure story aimed at younger readers, but is a worthy excursion for adult readers as well. The reader is one of the finest I've heard.

This is another great example of G.A. Henty's work. The narrator did a fantastic job, his voice and accent fitting the story well. Highly recommended

truly a masterpiece of historical fiction. I love the narration too.

very good

(5 Sterne)

👌this was excellent. The reader in the story was very good. I preferred the part about Wales more than about the famous battle. I will continue reading more by this author. Too bad they were not more books by the reader. He did an excellent job!
