In this volume, H. Henisch (history, emeritus, Penn State U.) and B. Henisch (former lecturer in medieval English, U. of Reading, UK) provide a lively biography of Bede, as well as an insightful portrait of the cultural atmosphere in which he lived and worked. Includes some 50 b&w reproductions of Bede's cartoons. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
