Quite dry but a very nice overview of this period. I chose this book for it's size: it's only about 200 pages. If you're doing a major paper or something you might want to find another book with more information, but if you just want a background on the time from Caesar's arrival in Britain to the time right before the reign of Alfred the Great, this is a good choice.
