A beautiful, beautiful book . . . archaeology is changing so much about the way we view the so-called Dark Ages �_� [Williams] is just brilliant at bringing them to light' Rory Stewart on The Rest is Politics From the bestselling author of Viking Britain, a new epic history of our forgotten past. As Tolkien knew, Britain in the �_~Dark Ages�_T was a mosaic of little kingdoms. Many of them fell by the wayside. Some vanished without a trace. Others have stories that can be told. ELMET. HWICCE. LINDSEY. DUMNONIA. ESSEX. RHEGED. POWYS. SUSSEX. FORTRIU. In Lost Realms, Thomas Williams, bestselling author of Viking Britain, uncovers the forgotten origins and untimely demise of nine kingdoms that hover in the twilight between history and fable, whose stories hum with saints and gods and miracles, with giants and battles and the ruin of cities. Why did some realms �_" like Wessex, Mercia, Northumbria and Gwynedd �_" prosper while these nine fell? From the Scottish Highlands to the Cornish coastline, from the Welsh borders to the Thames Estuary, Williams brings together new archaeological revelations with the few precious fragments of written sources to have survived to rebuild a lost world; a world where the halls of farmer-lords survive as ghost-marks in the soil, where the vestiges of hill-forts cling to rocky outcrops and grave-fields and barrow-mounds shelter the bodies of the ancient dead. This is the world of Arthur and Urien, Bede and Taliesin; of the Picts and Britons and Saxon migration; of magic and war, myth and miracle. In riveting detail, Williams uses Britain�_Ts ancient landscape to resurrect a lost past where lives were lived with as much vigour and joy as in any other age, where people fought and loved and toiled and suffered grief and disappointment just as cutting as our own. In restoring some of these voices, he raises questions matching many we face today: how do nations form and why do some fail? How do communities adapt to catastrophe, and how do people insulate themselves from change? How do we construct the past, and why do we �_" like the people of early medieval Britain �_" revere it, often finding in the tales of those long-gone a curious sense of belonging?

Decent quality, but not as described.
Size: Grande
Well when it eventually arrived (promised twice but only shipped on the third promise date). The quality was not as expected. It looks like molded plastic, not the "resin and crushed stone" in the description. I have two lions made by the same supplier and they ARE made of resin and crushed stone, and look like real stone. This statue looks like smooth molded plastic and does not look like $325 yard statue! On the whole we decided to keep it, and it adds a nice enough feature in the yard, but would not order from this manufacturer again. One other thing to note is that in the sales description and replies to questions it states it is suitable for outdoors. However they include a leaflet in the box once you have received it that states its not for outdoors year round... t heir way of creating a get out clause shod you have issues by using it outdoors...so inconsistent advice before and after you buy it!!!

Nice Piece of Art for Decoration
Size: Gallery
This statue looks great in the living room. The sunlight really makes it pop. It is heavy enough that our cat did not knock it over when rubbing on it. Since it only seems to take interest in expensive looking things, I took it as a compliment. And it is true, this piece looks fantastic. The only give away is that when you touch it, it doesn't "feel" expensive. But people (or animals) shouldn't be touching it anyway, so that isn't a problem for me!
