Much of the time I've been writing Alfred the Great's story of resisting invasions of Wessex has coincided with Ukraine resisting invasion. That has often been in my mind as I wrote.
I do sincerely hope that President Zelensky and Ukraine survive and succeed in spite of yesterday.

Lovely reader review: 'Alfred of Wessex':
"Brilliant book, full of atmosphere and character development. If you read and enjoyed Cornwell’s Saxons Stories you’ll enjoy this telling of Alfred’s story from a slightly different perspective."

At Ramsgate's war-time tunnels. The civic engineer and council in the 1930s had remarkable foresight and saved very many lives in WW2.
