The young Alfred the Great, by Naomi Mitchison

 

I really enjoyed this YA novel about the young Alfred the Great, considered the first English king. He is famous for many accomplishments, including forming the English navy, inventing the lantern, and using candles to measure the passing of time. This novel starts with his trip to Rome and takes us through much of his early history.
