This is a large format introduction to the Anglo-Saxon world, focusing on its spiritual and literary heritage. A large part of the book is dedicated to the Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem, the most complete account of runic writing we have inherited. The runic signs and riddles which accompany each of them (presented in Old English and modern translation) are dramatically brought to life by Brian PartridgeAes evocative drawings.

Too many rune titles are overly academic studies appealing only to specialized audiences of scholars: this differs in its general interest approach which endeavors to teach non-experts about runes and the values and experiences of the Anglo-Saxon world. Chapters focus on magic, meditation, and key literary contributions to Anglo-Saxon literature. -- Midwest Book Review
