Alongside famous names from history, sociologist, psychologist, and criminologist local Ely man Rod Read feels modest. His rebellion was the lively sixties sort, countercultural, long hair, dope, protest and psychedelic tripping. Here he has serious fun unearthing local heroes asking why do that? Why do some of us, like me, have to rebel?
He speculates whether rebellious spirits in the East are down to our Anglo- Saxon heritage?
Rudyard Kipling said in light of The 1066 Bastard from Normandy:
“The Saxon is not like us Normans. His manners are not so polite.
But he never means anything serious till he talks about justice and right.
When he stands like an ox in the furrow – with his sullen set eyes on your own, and grumbles, ‘This isn’t fair dealing,’ my son, leave the Saxon alone.
“You can horsewhip your Gascony archers, or torture your Picardy spears; But don’t try that game on the Saxon; you’ll have the whole brood round your ears.
From the richest old Thane in the county to the poorest chained serf in the field, They’ll be at you and on you like hornets, and, if you are wise, you will yield.”
Time travel with Rod the psychonaut for a light take on some heavy heroes, you can enter via the Portal Tree at Kentwell Hall above, or simply buy this book.

Shipping terms
Free economy shipping in the UK, regardless of the number of books ordered or the value of the order.
Overseas shipping costs are dependent on the weight of the books orders. You may therefore see different shipping costs for different books quoted alongside the price of the book. Books to be sent to Hawaii and Alaska will incur an additional charge above that quoted for delivery to the USA (this is because couriers charge more for delivery to these states).
Our books are dispatched regularly three times a week. Please inquire if you require expediated or 'best endeavours' shipping.
We use bespoke book boxes for most books; very small, awkwardly-shaped, multi-volume sets etc may have different packaging solutions to best protect them in transit. Our book boxes are made from recycled material and are fully recyclable. We are commited to minimising the environment impact of our book business and hope that you can support us in this endeavour.
