Nicholas Higham, Rome, Britain and the Anglo-Saxons

 Last book I read before holiday, so seems a long time ago now. Quite academic, and dated from the early '90s so not so up to date. Still interesting for all that, and I am getting more and more interested in the period of British history between  the collapse of Roman rule and the emergence of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. The strange anarchic mix of Christianity and paganisim, of Roman, British and germanic cultures seems to appeal to me
